Affiliate Marketing Program and Click Frauds

[lewisjake]

Merchants have been reported as unnecessarily paying for affiliates due to the misuse of the terms and conditions that are not followed by the affiliates. I have read a number of accounts when affiliates have been cheating the advertiser by taking help from the fraudsters. I also read somewhere that there are networks who click on one another's advertisements and links and dupe the advertiser. This might be a hoax, but it is quite possible.

Affiliate marketing programs and services provided by networks does not illustrate on such acts and if there is any kind of security we get against such acts. I have read about some tracking softwares and have little knowledge about Cookies also. But I think that is too little to convince an advertiser to go for an affiliate program.
