The Problem

You're Paying Affiliates to Steal Your Own Customers

  1. A shopper searches for you.

    Your brand plus coupon. They already chose you; they want a discount.

  2. An affiliate's ad sits above your own result.

    Bought on your brand term, pointing at a coupon page they run.

  3. The click detours through their tracking link.

    One hop through the network sets the affiliate's publisher ID on the visit.

  4. You pay commission on your own customer.

    The sale lands on your site and credits the publisher. That ID is what your network needs to reverse it.

Reversal window on the report

From your domain to a reversed commission

Here's What Happens Next.

The first three steps are the free scan, from your domain to the evidence in your inbox. The last three are what you do with it. Once you're monitoring, the loop is faster.

Phase 1 · The free scan

Step 01: You tell us the brand.

One short form. No credit card, no sales call, no demo booking. Takes thirty seconds.

You · 30 seconds

Step 02: Sonar scans every major market.

Our detection engine runs real Google searches on your brand terms across the world's major search markets, looking for affiliates bidding on your name. Every violator is documented with screenshots, publisher IDs, ad copy, and redirect chains.

Sonar · runs in minutes

Step 03: Your case file lands in 24 hours.

You receive a PDF with every fraudster we found, ready to forward to your affiliate network for clawback. Then you decide whether to subscribe and keep the detection running. No pressure, no follow-up sales sequence, no awkward “checking in” emails.

Your inbox · manually reviewed before it ships

24 hours, end to end

Your case file lands.

The evidence is yours. From here the clock is your network's: your network's timeline.

Phase 2 · After the PDF lands

Step 04: Forward the case file to network compliance.

Each case file is forwarding-ready: screenshot, redirect chain, publisher ID, ad copy, timestamp, market. Attach it to a one-line email to Awin, Impact, CJ, or whichever network the violator is registered with; the static publisher ID is the key their compliance desk needs.

You · about 5 minutes per case

Step 05: Dispute the commissions paid on hijacked traffic.

Most networks have a reversal window, often 30 to 90 days depending on the platform and contract. The publisher ID and timestamped evidence are what their dispute process asks for, and each report shows the date that window closes for its network.

Network compliance · same day to several business days

Step 06: The affiliate gets actioned.

The network reviews, reverses, removes, or escalates the publisher account; repeat offenders across brands can be blocked network-wide. You stop paying that affiliate, and so does every other brand on the network.

After signup

Every scan runs live on Sonar in minutes. Reports generate instantly.

The 24-hour promise is the free first scan. We review it manually before it ships. Once you're monitoring, new keywords, new markets, and fresh case files turn around in minutes, not days.

AdCrime produces the case file. Your affiliate manager forwards it. The network does the termination and the clawback. We don't replace your network compliance team; we hand them the one thing they can't produce on their own: the static publisher ID, with evidence, in 24 hours.

Before you ask

The four questions every affiliate manager asks first.

Will I forward a bad case to my network?

A case is Confirmed only when the chain ends on a network tracking link with a static publisher ID. Look that ID up in your own network dashboard before you send anything. Likely and competitor cases are labelled and kept apart, and a person reviews every free scan before it ships.

My network is not on your list.

We follow every ad on your terms to where it lands, whatever the link. On the six networks below the case file also carries the static publisher ID. Elsewhere it carries the full chain and every tracking parameter the link exposed, which is what a dispute needs.

Why do the plans talk about five keywords?

Five is the workload the included checks are sized for, not a cap. Interceptions cluster on a handful of patterns (your brand plus coupon, code, discount, promo, review), and the scan builder ranks suggestions by what has actually caught interceptions. Add as many as you like; each keyword costs checks, and the builder shows the bill before you save.

What happens after you find one?

You forward the case file. The network reverses the commission and actions the publisher. Steps four to six above are the whole loop, and every report shows the date your network's reversal window closes, so you file while the money can still come back.

Network Coverage

The six networks we decode.

Where the network's link format carries the publisher ID, we extract it. Where it carries only click tokens, we resolve the account from the rest of the chain. Either way, what lands in your dossier is the number your affiliate manager needs to file a dispute.

awinaffid=

The Cost of Not Looking

The leak is ongoing. Run your own numbers.

In our five-month corpus, 8 of the 10 most active offender domains were still running ads in the final 48 hours of the window. They persist because they're anonymous; identification is what ends it. Until then, the leak compounds monthly. Drop your numbers in and pick the scenario that fits your program.

The Deal

Free First Scan. 30-Day Guarantee. Evidence Is Yours Either Way.

In our pre-launch and early-access scans of active affiliate programs, six in ten surfaced unauthorized or likely-unauthorized bidders. The first scan is free - if we find nothing, you walk away with nothing lost.

If the evidence is worth paying for, you keep the monitoring on. And if in the next 30 days you want out - didn't find enough, don't like the reports, changed your mind, whatever - reply with the word refund. On Entry, every dollar back. On Pro and Enterprise, every check you haven't used comes back at the plan's rate, and every dollar if we confirmed nothing. No call. No form. No “let's hop on a quick sync.”

You keep every piece of evidence we surfaced. Forever. Even if you refund.

All I'm Asking Is That You Look.

Look - I'm not going to ask you to decide if this is worth it from a landing page. That would be insane. The whole point of AdCrime is that the fraud is invisible until somebody looks. So all I'm asking is that you let me look. Sign up, let us scan your program, and read the evidence we send you. If it's worth what we're charging, you keep it. If it isn't, you walk away - no questions, no card charge, no hard feelings.

“Day one or day thirty - if you're not happy, I'm not happy.”

That's the whole deal.

I Guarantee It.

The ad, the full redirect chain, the landing page, and the static publisher ID behind it, in one file your network's compliance desk can act on without asking you a question.

Evidence file per report

A PDF and a pack of the raw captures for each report, in the form networks accept as proof. Nothing to assemble, nothing to screenshot yourself.

Bidders view

Everyone running ads on your brand terms, affiliate or not, with the keyword they ran on and the capture. Competitors and unlabeled affiliates in one list.

  • A run costs keywords times markets: 5 keywords in 5 markets is 25 checks.
  • Unused checks roll forward for one billing cycle.

Honest Filter

Who AdCrime Isn't For.

If any of these describe you, don't sign up. We'll save you a refund email and we'll save us a disappointed customer.

You don't run an affiliate program.

AdCrime only detects affiliates bidding on your brand. No affiliates, no fraud to detect. We're the wrong tool.

You have fewer than 20 active affiliates.

At that size you can audit your program manually in an afternoon. We become worth it around 20-30 active publishers.

Your monthly affiliate commissions are under $10K.

The exposure is real even at this scale, but the operational overhead of paid monitoring rarely justifies itself yet. Run manual spot checks until the program grows, then come back.

You want a demo call, a discovery session, and a 6-week procurement cycle.

We do not run that process. We optimize for the affiliate manager who wants evidence in 24 hours, not a pipeline meeting.
