How It Works

We work with you to set up our net agents to scour the search engines in search of ads that are in violation of your affiliate search policies. Detecting ads that are designed to remain hidden or not posting to users in your area (geotargeting), Internet agents monitor the search terms found on Google, Yahoo and MSN live. When we detect an infringing ad, we notify you via email, notify the offending affiliate of the infringement and the amount of time alloted them to pull it down. We track each notification so that you can see what ads are placed over time, helping you identify trusted affiliates and repeat offenders.

What We Detect

It’s not always easy to find all the ads being placed to promote your company by affiliates. Many less than professional affiliates use geotargeting and other methods to hide their ads from your eyes and detection. We utilize a technology that allows us to see those ads specifically. Some of the things we are able to detect are:

• URL/Ad Text Hijacking – Identify ads that use your ad text and display URL but instead route visitors through affiliate links. These ads can be hard to visually spot because they look like your ads.
• Dayparting – Identify ads that are run during specific hours. For example, some infringers run their ads at night so that company employees are unlikely to see the ads.
• Reverse GeoTargeting – Identify ads that use reverse IP-geotargeting. This technique prevents a specific city or region from seeing an advertisement. For example, if your headquarters were in San Francisco, they would run ads in every city but San Francisco
• Referrer Laundering – Identify affiliates that utilize improper redirects to hide the original source of their traffic.
