Hey, I got got a quick question. Lets say someone finds an offer paying $1.5 per lead on a CPA site, such as NeverBlue or whatever. He/she then creates a website for this offer and promotes it via that website. Then he/she pays poeple to visit that website and click to complete the small CPL offer for $0.5. How can the CPA company spot that the affiliate pays someone to complete a CPL offer via their website? As it seems to me, there is no way of doing this. Does anyone know? In other words: Someone visits the affiliates website and continues to the CPL offer via a link or banner, then they complete the offer and get $0.5 from the affiliate.
People greed and stupidity. The affiliate has a big conversion on the offer ... 5 times bigger then the normal conversion networkwide. If they sent more traffic and lower the epc , then the network can't find out till next month when the traffic doesn't convert to the advertisers. Usually the traffic converts for the advertisers between some figures if the affiliates figures are close to zero they can spot real fast, but if the affiliates sends some legit traffic with the bogus one , it's impossible to find.
Normally automated software that detects that type of think like high convertion rates and such, there's lots of networks that allow incentives but incentives come in many different ways and you have to be careful some offers allow Social Media incentives some allow soft incentives and some cash incentives.
