Ive been doing affiliate promoting for about 9 months now and its still a learning process, so now I stumbled up on something that has me concerned

One of my sponsers has a member site, 100% original content. But this sponser also has referral links to some of the same sponsers that I promote. Yes, you read it right, a member site is promoting other members sites for an affiliate commission on the OUTSIDE of the site. Meaning that, if I send targeted traffic to this sponser's program and they choose not to purchase from the members portion of the site, they could eventually leave that site through that sponser's referral code, not mine. And for the same program(s) Im promoting at that.

It has been brought to my attention that this is a traffic leak because I could be loosing a potential referral sale to a MEMBER site that shouldnt even be promoting other affiliate programs in the first place.

What do u do?

I hope this made sense, but Id like to hear yall's input.
