What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“Stick to established aggregators like Impact, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, and PartnerStack” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Affiliate · negative prompt · first choice

“An Enterprise Retail / Travel Giant | CJ Affiliate | Connects you directly with premium, household-name media publications.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Affiliate · comparative prompt · alternative

“Use trusted networks - Amazon Associates, ShareASale, ClickBank (with research), CJ Affiliate” MiniMax M2.5 · Affiliate · negative prompt · alternative

“Established traffic, want premium brands? → CJ Affiliate or Awin” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Affiliate · comparative prompt · alternative

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“Avoid joining massive networks like Awin, CJ Affiliate, or Impact.com early on” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Affiliate · budget prompt · hard negative

“Large Platforms with Notable Complaints (Be Cautious, Not Avoid Entirely)... payment holds... account closures without reason” Grok 4.1 Fast · Affiliate · negative prompt · soft negative

“$15K+/month for enterprise (likely overkill)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Affiliate · scale prompt · soft negative

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when CJ Affiliate's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as CJ Affiliate, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

It does not get any change to labels, shares or verdicts, any preview, or any say over which quotes appear. A verification link goes to your work email; an address at the vendor's own domain is approved on the spot, any other address is reviewed by hand.

Your name and company appear on the claimed page, or the company alone if you ask below. A title and a LinkedIn address appear there too if you give them, and are left off if you do not. Your email address is never published.
