Affiliate commission theft?

2 replies
I read something about affiliate commission theft? As far as I know, it can be stopped by cloaking your links, but how does it happen in the first place? Wouldn't you need to have access to he site itself?

    or you can do it through cookie stuffing, software, many ways...

    There have been cases of people hacking into other peoples sites and changing affiliate links or simply redirecting traffic through their affiliate link.

    Or through the use of cookie stuffing you can "write over" the previous cookie.

    The best way is to use software they install on the consumer's computer, which replaces affiliate cookies. Pretty easy to do.
