What's the downside to having an "open" AP? Everyone can signup and promote, why not?
If there is fraud involved then it will be caught on the Biller's end. People who signup to APs to run cc scams are usually caught on Day One. Once approved they try to send 500 joins in a day or something. It is the rare (especially these days) "wise" scammer who only sends a sale or two a day or week. But even then, if the CBs hit and they are all tied to that affiliate, they get blocked.
I understand a good offense is a good defense but honestly, 99% of ANY affiliate who joins an AP these days is a tiny, tiny fish. All the important affiliates are already sending traffic.
In other words, don't sweat the small stuff - and it's ALL small stuff these days when it comes to new affiliates.
