Well as a cam program we get affiliates using pay per free lead and I have to say: 60% of the new affiliates are cheaters! Yes the majority (more than half) of the new affiliates are cheaters! Especially some weeks these cheaters come in clusters, like a dozen in 3 days, as someone posted of "new cpa offer to rape" in a blackhat or botnet or otherwise shady forum or IRC channel. I monitor those and at times there's guys who offer paypal or "liberty reserve" payments with little commission to who is able to generate signups not caught as a cheating under their affilaite account (not every hacker got a paxum).
Simply they got an hundred of USA ip's and yahoo + gmail accounts to open as many tubecamgirl accounts, this way you can do $100 a day with few hours of "work".
About the ip's being proxies, they do not always use recognizable host.server.com type of IP's (lots of these proxy are recognised by the Maxmind geoip API as "A1" country rather than "US,CA,AU" etc. so are not credited in first place). There's smart ones who got US isp IP's such as comcast's or roadrunner's or verizon's, so to recognise them it must be used other ways.
For example the http referrer, from what page they come from? Of course some are smart and do fakesite.com with our banner and put fakesite.com in http referrer, so it seems legit.
Also, are these guys chatting or watching the site? If you don't have such detailed logs on activity of users, it is quite difficult to decide this is smart cheat or simply real guy who signup and quits in a minute.
We see that lots of real users signup and quit in a minute, that's a fact, and affiliate must be paid as this is real signup; however from 100+ different signups, someone should at least watch, chat or use free tokens, it is a statistical thing. Some smart cheaters of course will chat and keep logged-in one fake user every 10 in order to look real too
Hope my guide in how to cheat pay per lead sites will be useful for anyone willing to cheat lol
