It’s horrible that you can do all that work setting up an affiliate and then someone just steals it from you. Thanks for the heads up !
Business owners must be attentive and wise enough in monitoring their cash and business flow. Fraud must not occur in any business. It will surely kill the business.
Yeah you are absolutely right i agree with you.

Thank you for the post. I am fighting with fraud affiliates every day – banning IP ranges, countries, deny free e-mail accounts, free domains – hell they come up with something new every day!
I will surely look into this!
This tool is useful for the those allowed the affiliate marketing. To them this tool is like a third eye keeping vigil on fraudulent who try to misuse their program.
I will test this program then conclude some results.
Certainly a great idea for people who are going to offer affiliate programs or are offering affiliate programs. A great way to keep away fraudulent affiliates
I have worked with a company in 2008 that offers background check service so I knew stories about fraud. Fraudlogix is simply on the right path with their business.
Very nice post, and it sounds like a nice company, thanks for sharing this!
Sounds like a great company and programs that most companies should be thinking about.
Now more than ever it is so important to have yourself protected against fraud. When I look for companies that protect against fraud, what I do is basically ask them upfront if they had any incidents where there weren’t able to protect a client. I ask them how many reports they had of people breaking in there company.You just have to ask straight and forward questions.
Most of the online company which say’s earn money from affiliates or PPC are fake i have a experience on it most of the site on Internet are include in this fraud activity.Please make any site where we can report about this fraud site.
Your post is very interesting i take interest on this topic.
Thanks.
I do not agree that most of them are fake. There are many real merchants who offer affiliate programs and many affiliates who generate legitimate sales. Unfortunately, there are always people who choose to cheat because it is easier to make money that way than ethically.

Hi Munish,
The network that I trust most is ShareASale because they work to keep anyone using unethical techniques out of their network.

Patricia actually raises another important issue, if I read her comment right.
Affiliate marketing can indeed be an awesome SECONDARY source of income for those with small businesses/e-commerce stores.
9 x outa 10, if not more though, it should not be on the same site.

I saw many Affiliate programs on net which have same contents on different websites. and most of the programs were spam when I saw the comments.
thanks for running such a Fraud Protection program.
The fact is that there are many scams, but if this thing really works, I’ll take it now. But even if it works, fraudsters will soon find a way and to avoid it, so all that remains on the end is pure intuition of what is a scam and what is not.

Yes, there is a continuous cat and mouse game going on, but those who are most wise can find ways to protect themselves from the worst of it. The scammers will still take advantage of many unsuspecting victims.

Hi Patricia,
This aspect of affiliate fraud is more important for merchants than affiliates, but it could become a factor in which merchants we choose to promote. When a merchant uses an Affiliate Manager that keeps out bad affiliates or the merchant finds a way to do that there programs are more beneficial for bloggers and affiliates.

Affiliate Marketing is very important in terms of online businesses. Being an essential part of online businesses, this “affiliate fraud” thing came out to hinder the success of one’s business. Fraudlogix can be the solution to this, I presume. Thank you for sharing.

There are a few things that we must ask ourselves??
1> is this for major affiliates or should even the novice affiliates jump aboard?
2> Will this increase the chances of getting the commission?
3> Would I have to still cloak my links to prevent affiliates from stealing my commission?
As you can see affiliates stealing is one of the hardest things to fight even for a lonely blog owner, so why would we want to pay a monthly or yearly for something that is yet really new??
Interesting! I do dabble in affiliate marketing, but must admit never gave much mind to this. Will definitely have to look into it.
Thanks for the link Gail! Ciao =)

We had recently been looking into affiliate schemes with one of the large affiliate windows and fraud was not something we had considered as a risk – we always assumed lack of control of where our products are advertised would potentially be the most obvious negative. Are / Has there been ways for affiliate partners to scam even the big affiliate service providers?
Hi Tom,
There are some serious issues with affiliate marketing. You may want to read the post I’ll include in CommentLuv in this reply. The safest network for merchants is ShareASale because they are serious about keeping methods that allow affiliates to steal commissions they haven’t really earned out of their program.
Unfortunately, many of the other Affiliate Networks are happy to have them because they generate income for the networks too and most merchants don’t know how to look for these issues.
Many Affiliate Marketing Management companies are the worst offenders – again, because it is far easier to make money quickly by using methods that others like me believe are unethical (and that impresses their merchant clients who don’t know any better) than it is to honestly earn commissions.
There are many links on those two posts and I also recommend Kellie Stevens at Affiliate Fair Play as a source for information about what is fair affiliate marketing and what is unethical.

That could be true, sometimes there is no border between ethical and unethical things, and some programs just let fraud sales occur.
