Thank you so much for this information. I just got started in the Amazon Affiliate program but am thinkgin about switching to something else that would pay more. I could definitely see myself falling for OneCause so thanks for alerting me to it.

I’m bookmarking this article so I can refer to it as I get more serious about selling.

Wow, that’s quite an eye-opener. I’ve always wondered about many aspects of actually getting credit for affiliate sales. Thanks for the resources. I’ll have to check if the affiliate programs I have links to support these unfair practices. One good thing is one of the links(HyperWear) is part of the ShareASale network.

Hi Anne
Difficult for anyone to steal my Affiliate income… I don’t have any yet.

I’m letting by blog settle down and build up visitors.
Once I’ve achieved that, I’ll start thinking about Affiliate income.
Thanks for the warning.

It certainly does exist. Making money online is not as easy as it may seem and that’s just one of the hurdles. Thanks for the reminder on Twitter btw, time for a new post here!

HI |Anne,

Found my way over here via Dave Thackeray.

I have read about these affiliate commission thieves. Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely check out that forum especially as I am ramping up my affiliate marketing.

I will say here that if this is indeed going on, that is simply not right. Even though I don’t participate in any affiliate programs, those who sell the product should get the commission. That’s only fair.

If these toolbars do that, then your clearly getting miffed by these companies. I do have a different stance on affiliates then advertisements

hopefully something can be done about this practice.

take care Anne.

You’re both most welcome. It’s amazing how few affiliates know about this. Considering the huge amounts these companies “donate” to charity, I am guessing they’re getting quite a hefty chunk of our affiliate fees into their pockets….

I’m very grateful for this info Anne. On the new blog I am going to steer away from selling ad spots to concentrate more on affiliates.

Thanks!

Anne, thanks for this. I’m not that concerned with it at the moment, but I’m really glad I now know who to talk to about it.
