This post is spot on for accuracy. In my time i have known many people/site owners not to pay much attention to site security. This has then lead to hacking, fraud, copywriting etc etc and due to the lazyness or neglegence of the site owner, nothing can be provided as compensation.

One of the main problems i have came accross as a designer is the amount of eccommerce stores that do not pay much attention and care to security pages. (HTTPS)

This is not something that will affect most affiliates as the secure pages will be found on the product site, however site security is something everybody should seriously consider and take note of when designing a site.

Yes, pretty/good looking designs are good, however, common issues like security and other factors e.g download speed, html/css size etc are issues which should always be at the front of mind when creating websites.

Thanks
