Does payment proof help you decide?

Hello guys.
I just want to ask, does payment proof help you decide which program to join, paid or free?
Because I find it hard to believe that other people are getting paid without showing a very good payment proof. Like for example, the ebook marketing advertisement pages, they show off clickbank stats and paypal payments WITHOUT showing the person's name or who owns the account. We all know that stats can come from anywhere, so I need a better proof to convince myself that the program is good.
That is why I try to produce payment proofs when I get them, because that way I can convince people that the program really pays.
How about you guys? Do you like it better when others are showing payment proofs?
Are you easily convinced by payment proofs?
Do you provide payment proofs to programs that you advertise?
Also, please check my profile page and look at two banners there that have payment proofs. Tell me how convincing they are, so that I will have a slight idea.
Have a nice day guys.

Payment proof is a good thing, but since I started running my blog on ways to earn money online, I have noticed that a lot of sites use the same "proof", it never changes from one site to another.
Yes proof helps, but honestly it is not going to convinience me, I still do my research and see what people are saying.

Me too. I've noticed that trend too, people showing the same stuff over and over again. Well, I'll try to update my payment proofs once in a while and continue to post the previous ones so that people may get the picture. And yes, further research is needed. I actually got those sites from friends and that they show me proof of payment, which got me on joining them, and I'm glad I did. For sites that requires payment, I'll do intensive research as to know if they are really paying.
You've given a good point there. I don't like the idea of pushing people in a program that doesn't work, it'll be a loss for all of us. Thank you for this response. Have a nice day.

Not necessarily as I don't post payment proofs myself
and with a bit of editing skills some people can make those up too

Yeah, but then only a few bothers though. Small programs like the one on my profile are just small ones, and I think fabricating a payment proof for sites like that is a big waste of time. But then other people don't want to bother with small programs too, so posting a payment proof for those sites is kind of a waste, but not for me though, I just want to share those good sites as I've really gotten some out of them. Have a nice day.

Of course payment proof helps me decide. It's proves that the site is not a scam and proves if it pays well or now.
Very convincing. =]

Yeah, it kind of proves, but then not all payment proofs are real. Thanks for the remark. I edited mine using just MS Paint, and trust me I'm not really good when it comes to graphics and stuff. And I guarantee that those sites pay(just the two with the payment proof, nothing from the rest yet). Have a good day.

Yes. If there is a lot of payment proofs (over one hundred?) with screenshots of them receiving money, it helps me believe their site pays. Sites that have low amounts of payment proofs or payment proofs without proof shouldn't be trusted as much at first.

Oh yeah that is good too, although I'm talking about people recommending you to try a new program of sorts without showing a valid payment proof or is not validated by other people as well. But then you have a good point, and also it is better to have many payment proofs in various forums and sites to verify the authenticity of the payments. Have a nice day.
