    Definition of Affiliate Link Hijacking

    Affiliate Link Hijacking

    A method of depriving an affiliate of the commission which should be rightfully his. This can happen in two ways every time the full affiliate link is displayed in the affiliate’s promotion:

    The first way is by bypassing the full link, a lighter form of hijacking. Instead of just clicking on the link someone types the URL in the address field of his browser by hand and chops off the link ending which contains the affiliate’s ID. This is done either unknowingly or wilfully because this person cannot stand the idea of another earning money. The sales page’s tracking system has no chance to connect the visitor to the affiliate then. Actual tests show that something like this happens in about 30% of the cases.

    The second way would be an actual hijack. Instead of just chopping off the affiliate-ID-part of the link someone replaces it with his own ID. He just need to sign up as an affiliate for this product first which is a matter of minutes in most cases. As a result the affiliate is robbed of his commission and the customer receives an undeserved discount. Some merchants forbid affiliates buying from their own links but by far not all.

    According to tests affiliate earnings are about 30% less than they would be if every sale via his link would be registered correctly.

    Of course there is a solution to this problem which is called link cloaking. That is, to disguise the link so it doesn’t look like an affiliate link anymore.

    There are free services like www.tinyurl.com or www.graburl.com which enable affiliates to enter their full affiliate URL like the sample link http://www.productname.com/?affiliate=12345 and get it replaced by an URL like http://tinyurl.com/xyz or http://graburl.com/xyz where “xyz” stands for a unique code redirecting it to your affiliate URL via the tinyurl or graburl servers.
