Affiliate programs getting ripped off by this method?
 

Simple example:

Affiliate program pays $25 on console free, $35 with consoles.

Affiliates web site detects if the surfer has a popup blocker. If yes, he sends to console link codes to get $35, if no, he sends to console free, so no surfer sees a single popup, and still he gets high commission on a lot of the signups.

Something forward thinking programs should have considered maybe? :winkwink:

Interesting.

bastards hehe, guess we could build in a thing that shows ratio of popups shown and if it falls under a certain % then we will know whats up! Good idea, very nice thinking

That's why after a while you receive an email:

"Your account has been desactived due to low conversions".

And then you come here and start crying on GFY that the sponsor sucks ballz.

they should really fix that but it is an interesting exploit that you have found...

there was a good thread about this a while ago... see if I can find it :glugglug

that's the idea of lensman! :warning

Sponsors can counter it and monitor your incoming traffic using the same approach.

Actually there were a few...

People coulda been doing that forever. Just check if javascript is disabled and tours always woulda been essentially console free.

On your ad page 1 set a cookie. Page two check for cookie. If no cookie, java is likely off. Ancient "is javascript enabled?" test method.

I send to console free anyway. Tired of swimming upstream against the overwhelming public opinion.

console free is the only way to go anyway, maybe a smaller payout, but at least they might come back to your site if they don't buy.
