D.D., not all affiliate programs are 'affiliate-friendly'. Not all of them eagerly help their affiliates.
If you have any question about a particular affiliate program you're interested in, don't hesitiate to get in touch with them. See how helpful they are.
It's usually better to work with affiliate programs that's more than 1 tier. You can get paid from your sub-affiliates' marketing effort. It can add up to a good sum in a year.
If you need any help, feel free to drop me a line.
