Advertiser Not Paying? Affiliate Network Will Cover you? Think again.

I always see here affiliates that saying working with affiliate network is “safer” than directly with the adveritser
because they are charging the advertiser and if the advertiser will run away with your money they will cover you.

I worked as affiliate and advertiser manager long ago and I can hunt the advertiser in 3 second the only reason I’m working with
affiliate networks and not directly with the advertiser is because the reason above ^^ and because of weekly payments which is nice to get the money faster.

I have my 1-2 fav aff networks that 90% of my activity is with them and I trust them ...
