Fight The Possibility Of Affiliate Fraud
By Almir Bojkovic
Affiliate fraud is getting much worse. The only real way to successfully fight this kind of fraud is to confront it head-on. Knowing a little more about its different manifestations is very important to effectively fight this kind of affiliate fraud: Fake transactions – some fraudsters create scripts that make fake leads, transactions and clicks. There are others that first sign up as an affiliate and then make rather large purchases by using others stolen credit cards. Of course, the merchant will find out about the fraudulent purchase but it is highly likely that he would pay for the affiliate commission just because of the purchase. Typosquatting – this may not seem rather damaging at first but it can be really annoying nonetheless. Typosquatters are affiliates who register different well-know domain names and then sign up for the merchant’s affiliate program to obtain the traffic which should have been the merchant’s in the first place. Parasites – these are what cause problems to many legitimate affiliate marketers. Parasites are adware programs that installs itself onto the affiliate’s computer that steals traffic from them. It steals their links and replaces it with new ones. The legitimate affiliate marketers would not get paid because of this. Spammers – there are affiliates who send unsolicited spam or e-mails to their prospects. These kinds of affiliates ruin a merchant’s reputation and can make marketing promotions much harder for legitimate e-mailers because readers can no longer separate spam from the legit ones. Spammers can also ruin a merchant’s name by getting placed on the blacklist. There are other signs you need to keep out for in order to determine if an “affiliate” is actually legit or not. Most of the time, affiliates who rapidly ask for immediate payment through PayPal are always the ones that turn out to be fraudulent.
