What is an Affiliate Link Hijacking

Reply

This term is used to describe a scenario where an affiliate is unjustly deprived of his commission. Affiliate link hijacking generally occurs in 2 different ways, especially when the affiliate’s full link is displayed. The first way is to completely bypass the affiliate’s link. This method is more commonly used by hijackers and is done by manually typing in the web address in the url field of a browser and deliberately omitting the part that contains the affiliate’s id. The second form of link hijacking is even more sneaky. Instead of simply dropping off the affiliate’s id from the url, the hijacker goes one step further and replaces it with their own affiliate id. In both instances, the affiliate does not get paid what is rightfully his. The worst part is most of them don’t even know they are being robbed. Alarmingly, this sort of practice happens quite frequently, so it’s important that affiliates take steps to protect their hard-earned commissions.

Co-registration is the practice of collecting leads/subscribers for multiple businesses, on one website’s landing page. A user is required to provide his registration details once to subscribe, but is then presented with an option (checkboxes) to receive email communications from several other related businesses. Advertisers usually pay a stipulated fee to the owner of the co-reg network, i.e. the person displaying their opt-in offers on his subscription page. This method is an easy way of adding a stream of highly targeted suscribers to your mailing list within a short period of time and if done correctly, can prove to be very profitable for you.
