How
does TrafficDiffusion

TrafficDiffusion
has developed a
program that
identifies

the traffic is
originating and
the conversion
rate of visitors
to actual
purchases or
sign-ups. This
allows us to
detect fraud or
poor-quality
traffic coming
from our
affiliate
programs.
We
operate a very
strict policy on
fraud control,
if an affiliate
is found in any
way shape or
form to be
operating
against the
rules of the
system, they
will be removed
and commission
earned will be
refunded to the
merchants
concerned,
legitimate or
not. Many
additional
anti-fraud
measures are in
place that
cannot be
specified for
security reasons.
