Hi There,
Yes, with the growth of CPS it has become important for us to place stricter fraud control and bonus abuse measures in place on both the CPC and CPA programs.
We have been targeted by specific fraudulent tactics and in order to protect our good affiliates we have to tighten up. We are working with our affiliates to elimate these people who are as much of a problem to them as they are to us.
Our Fraud Department have a set of rules in place which identify these cases one by one and of course, we have the ability to make an exception for good affiliates who happen to inadvertently find themselves on the fraud control review list.
While I am aware that this might come as a shock to some affiliates (CPS has never done this before to this degree) it is necessary and quite normal for affiliate programs to do this type of thing.
Some other programs may cut an affiliate completely off for these reasons, however, as you have pointed out, we may miss out on a great affiliate due to this which is why we allow affiliates to continue promoting via Revenue Share should this occur. Revenue Share is ultimately more profitable as you are paid for life for quality players.
a potentional shark may lost big bucks not in the first CPA or CPC month but in the following month
Are you meaning a “potential shark” player? If so, you won’t earn anything from this player in the following months of their play if you deliver them via either CPC or CPA. As mentioned, Revenue Share is highly more profitable for webmasters who have quality traffic.
Having said all of that, our Fraud Department rules and standards will apply this month and going forward and we will continue to follow our terms and conditions regarding these programs.
Cheers!
Trish
