Update:

I would like to comment about their affliated program here. I had joined their affliated program in May at the time when i wrote this post. but after five month i have only five ready to pay signup. sometime it was around 15 signups and i am not sure how many times i reached to this extent. They have min $100 payout that never complete. I feel that they have setup a system that automatically decrease ready to pay signups or declare some registration false when you reach near to 20 signups (eq: $100). I had contacted their support but i did not received any reply. I suggest you all to use only industry leading affiliated program like commission junction if you really want transparency in the payout.
