Do you know what most forex affiliates lack? Credibility!

For starters, CFD and forex traders are expected to be knowledgeable, competitive and sharp individuals who should not be impressed by cheap marketing gimmicks such as discounts, promotions or flashy signs.

This is why partnering with AvaTrade, for example, a broker that is regulated across 5 continents is the best partner for forex affiliates. Your visitors will trust you, as you represent a credible, reputable, and trusted broker.

With that said, you must also ensure that your forex affiliate website displays credibility by providing content that will educate your visitors. Getting there is fairly easy but requires a bit of work. Your website must look and feel professional, informative, and credible.
