Sometimes (however seldom) we get invalid affiliates sign up with invalid emails and sometimes we get sign up with no login. Why should they do that and how to stop this?

Hi this is Dave. I saw ur interesting post. some times affiliates wants to hide their original website URL, email address & other contact Nos. I'm NOT saying this is fraud. The reason may be they want to promote merchants for different sub-domains, which is dedicated to that particular product or service.

If this kind of stuff is really bothering you then I would like to suggest you to put a email verifier software in your sign-up page. Make sure you may loose many potential Affiliates for this.....

Cheers,
Dave

it coudl also be a combination of bots and/or the competition checking your offerings/tools out.

Just an idea Smile

I have no problem with their desire of policy, but why should they use an email that they can receive no email from us?

I can't remember what it was, but there was an affiliate or a forum that would display my details. For that purpose, my wife wouldn't allow me to sign up even though it was for my benefit.

But I remember that exclusive policy that Rupert had with .... was it tigerdirect.com they didn't allow promotion of rival products or services.

so people might want to get around it. I don't know, i'm just spit balling here!
