What is the one thing that all affiliates hate universally.. the one thing that that causes enormous gripe, spite and venom? Without any doubt, it’s got to be parasitewares.
If you don’t know what a parasiteware is, let me explain. Parasite is an adware that overwrites affiliate-tracking links.
This behavior is viewed as parasitic because such softwares divert affiliate commissions and credits the affiliate’s income to another party. These cookie-stuffing scumbags are not just stealing from affiliates but from merchants as well.
To really understand the impact of adware on your web site and revenues, read this article by Kellie Stevens and this one by Ben Edelman.
So what is MontRED’s stance on parasites? We do not allow any affiliates that use such disgusting adwares, spywares, and parasite systems of any kind.
No pop-ups, pop-unders, browser helpers, browser plug-ins, or toolbars. Our Terms of Service covers this topic at length. MontRED is proud to be a white hat merchant.
