Coupon affiliates steal from you

Apparently, visits to an online retail site of a voucher/coupon code Web site is now in the UK 1 out of every 200 . As this type of traffic year after year, your hard earned affiliate commissions could get emptied down the drain, if your cookie is overridden by these practices of rogue.

Many of the large gift certificate have an incredibly sneaky way websites, your override hard earned cookies (there are out legit there, to do things by the book, but I'm not naming names here).

Show Discount & Save

So in order to even view the discount you click first need, button, to reveal codes, opened this a popunder is a new cookie, override sell. Now is where it starts to get very, very sneaky.If you have a large database driven website easily it is creating pages to any trader / website known to man, who has an affiliate program (regardless of whether they coupon codes or not), some sites have to manually do others can do it quickly. You then start optimize the pages for "merchant name coupons, discount codes and coupons."So there's now a typical scenario: you send a customer the dealer of your affiliate RedirectCustomer is a nice shiny laptop & decide BuyThey to checkout & find a "coupon code box" you see the dealer has their eyebrows, ever so slightly increase and enter "traders coupon codes" in GoogleUp POPs one of the voucher code sites with a beautiful shiny button similar to, that AboveBut…. low & Behold there is no coupon codes.The coupon site has but yet your cookie overwrite.

This is, what pisses me off most, people are willing to buy, ready to commit. Still have you you sell at the last minute (seemingly without any effort) stolen.

One of Britain's great coupon sites last year reported that they more than $ sent gross annual sales in the value of sales through dealers. With this kind of volume, the networks are zugedrückt an eye & these sites with stealing your commissions to get away.

This seems very different, but here is a couple of thoughts (I would like to know you also):

n What do you think the role is the affiliate? There is this four solutions I can think of: I look very carefully before promoting some traders now when they have a coupon discount have a field is a big red flag for me.Ban of the concerned partner of NetworksDisable override the affiliate CookiesCredit of the affiliate that sends the consumer on the buy side before the affiliate providing the coupon.

What solutions do you see to combat this growing problem?
