been burned more than once with networks that promise good cpc but then delay payments or mess with the tracking. Watch out for networks that push high commissions but then have weird payout delays or catch you with fine print. Always get payment terms in writing upfront, and if they start talking about 'manual reviews' or 'pending approvals' for high-value leads, run. No point working your ass off only to get stiffed or have the payments dragged forever. Seen too many guys lose cuz they didn't vet the networks well. Protect yourself, lol.
