mpire plugin designed to steal affiliate sales ?

So,

These guys just released this plugin for shopping comparison/data/coupons;

Are they modifying affiliate links on web-pages and stealing commissions ? And if so any way to protect the links from changes ?

It'd be great to get a list of shame together that documents these pricks. I believe there is another huge one that works with CJ that includes downloadable software that steals other affiliate commssions.

Thanks

 

Ouch, let's hope that's NOT what's happening!

 

I'm pretty sure they are stealing affiliate links.

Here is another one about to launch:

How do you know Agloco steals affiliate links? That's a pretty bold accusation. AllAdvantage didn't do this, and this product is from several of their founders. I don't THINK they will be stealing links.

Do you know something that we don't?

I have no proof they are in stealing links. However, their documentation mentions a revenue share from affiliate sales if you visit merchant sites they have a relationship with.

How else would they be able to do this ? I agree, AllAdvantage didn't do anything with affiliate sales. The affiliate sales component is new with this outfit.

 

Thanks for stepping in and clearing this up, I'm reviewing the code.

Cheers.
