    hi,

    We have found a lot of network cheating for about 50% of traffic. They do have probably best money minting algorithm designed to cheat the affiliates. It is hard to find that how they are stealing money. If you are experiencing so, Please do continue with this thread and expose those networks. And this thread is advice to those networks to stop cheating affiliate's hard earned money. We are working closely to expose those networks soon.

    We hope all affiliates will participate their experience with different networks whether positive or negative.

    I am facing same type of problem with almost all networks.
    I think these networks do not track leads properly to make hidden profits.

    Network does prove a point, though I find it slightly confusing.

    I know affiliate fraud happens, but it cuts both ways. A lot of the referral type traffic (where affiliate is paid for bringing in the sign up traffic) is fraud. There are advertisers who don't credit an affiliate for the sales too. Its sad to see this, because there is so much money to be made wihtout cheating. Cheating is short term...most people have the capability to do a ROI analysis and they drop the affiliate/advertiser. Eventually.

    There was only a handful of networks that I've found their counting questionable at best. Axill, Interclick, Ad Median, Clicksor and Paypopup. The networks I use now maybe 1 or 2 percent difference in the numbers. Don't really serve a lot of impressions, but respectable.

    Well, one of the possible ways to ensure your security against affiliate fraud is to have a shop on your own domain! That way you can track all sales and compare the results with the statistics in your affiliate profile.:)

    But its not easy to manage for every affiliater.

    We should take a solid action against these networks.
