Stop paying commissions on fake traffic
Affiliate and performance marketing is a prime target for fraud: bots, forced clicks, cookie stuffing and low-quality partners can drain your budget while looking like legitimate referrals. You end up paying commissions on traffic that never had any intent to buy.
The model itself is the reason. Affiliate marketing pays on results, and when a partner is paid per click, lead or sale, there is a direct incentive to manufacture that activity artificially.
ClickPatrol scores every affiliate click against 800+ data points, so you see which partners drive genuine engagement and which are manufacturing activity, and pay accordingly.
The tactics that trigger payouts
Any model that pays for an action creates an incentive to fake that action. These are the forms it usually takes, and all of them can look like legitimate referrals in your reports.
Bots
Automated traffic that clicks and converts without a human behind it.
Forced clicks
Clicks fired by scripts or redirects the visitor never intended to make.
Cookie stuffing
Affiliate cookies dropped without a real referral, to claim credit for sales.
Incentivised traffic
Visitors rewarded for clicking, with no intent to ever buy.
