How To Protect Your Affiliate Commission
Affiliate marketers have a constant worry about commissions being stolen by some lazy person out there who doesn’t want to work. In some marketing circles, it is a widely held belief that this is an easy task that just takes a few keystrokes to accomplish.
Let’s examine the fallacy in that assumption. It is very easy for someone to change the hop=your ID to hop=their ID. There is no arguing with that. After having clicked the Order Now button, the prospective purchaser will be taken to the checkout page. At the very bottom of the page, under the Terms of Sale and under the Click Bank copyright, the original affiliate ID is still displayed. This doesn’t change just because the hop link has been changed. The appearance of this ID can’t be changed. That means that the commission for the original and rightful marketer is securely protected.
The hop=value does not set the affiliate cookie. This necessary cookie is set when the link is clicked. That means that the hop=value can be changed and it will have no effect on the cookie.
Since the commissions are protected from this type of theft, are there other ways that the affiliate commissions can be stolen?
