Affiliate and Internet Marketing Compliance Monitoring
“Big money? Yeah, but you got to be somewhat paranoid too, you know? You have to make everything appear natural. Sure, you can stuff a ton of cookies using an iFrame or an image tag and earn a couple thousand dollars, but those guys get themselves caught. There’s so many tricks out there, but it’s important to start things slow and build, be patient for a month or two, keep your CTR (click-through rate) below 10%…”

There are many different ways that non-compliance can effect an Affiliate or Internet Marketing program, including:
- Forced Clicks/Cookie Stuffing
- Self-Inflated Transactions
- Undisclosed, or unapproved, Incentives
- Objectionable, or Illegal, Content
- Use of non-compliant software
- Commission Hijacking
- Fraud
Programs not actively monitoring for such activity may be paying for unqualified and non-legitimate transactions. But, how do you monitor a program for compliance? If you don’t know how, or where, to start, it can be worse then ‘looking for a needle in a haystack’. It can be like ‘looking for particular needles in a stack of needles’! So, where can you start?
