3. WHY OAMA? OAMA was created as a response to a growing problem in affiliate marketing on the web: the mistrust of affiliate marketers. Affiliate marketing on the web is often associated with scams, lies and bad websites. These aren’t just “a few bad apples”; it is a trend that appears to be growing due to a lack of good examples in the industry. OAMA allows those aligned with honesty and fairness to openly declare they will and do practice fairness in all their business online, whether they run a reviews website or a affiliate product site.

6. SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION Website owners should not overlook the importance of SITE SPEED, DESIGN and QUALITY in their affiliate properties. The Trust Logos will not help websites that are shoddily designed and contain misspellings, even if they are posted on such. We encourage the use of clean, fast code, fast web server technology where possible and excellent design and quality practices throughout your property. This will ensure visitors gain a positive experience so that the trust for this logo is reinforced, as it is meaningless if the values aren’t practiced and the rules adhered to. OAMA Non Profit

7. ABOUT THE LOGOS The OAMA Trust Logos are immediately recognizable for the word Affiliate. This helps Google searchers and other organic search visitors to quickly identify your site as an affiliate marketing site. The Logo can be explored by a single mouse click to the official site where the visitor will be informed about the organization and what the site they visited does to conform to the standards of the organization. The visitor can then evaluate that 1) it’s true, the affiliate site has a personal photo of the owner of the site 2) it’s true, the site appears to give truthful information. It is our hope that this will not only help your site to be more successful, but a new generation of affiliate sites will be formed that set a great example for current and future affiliate marketers, transforming the industry.
