Can Affiliate Managers see my ads

Freeman77 · 04-04-2010, 05:49 PM

If I have image ads on Google Adwords or any other platform, can AMs use the tracking info to see the exact ad? Possibly a stupid question

I belong to a CPA company where all the affiliate managers are also aggressive CPA marketers themselves, so I'm just wondering if they could study our actual ads.

I realize I could cloak my links, but my adserver is slow enough as it is, so I'd hate to slow down the ad serving time even more.

If they want to see them bad enough they will, something to help is to use prosper or tracking202 and use cloaking

I have Tracking202, but I'm not using it because I fear it will slow down ad serving time... You really think they can see the actual ads? My thought was that they'd be tough to track down.

You gotta use a cloaker like tracking202 or your campaigns can be seen. They can see which sites are converting from you and instead run the campaign themselves.

You're probably not big enough for them to care.

If you're pushing a lot of traffic, making a lot of conversions, you will be "investigated". Until then, you're just like any newbie (most of them vanish in a short time).

If you are really really successful with PPC, the offer may be withdrawn, and possibly re-appear with a limitation of "No PPC Traffic"..

	So, you want to sell me another way to easily make "X" dollars in "X" days? ROFL too funny! IM success requires hard work and lots of time. Most newbies do not survive the steep learning curve. Anyone who says otherwise is probably selling you a fantasy.
