Partnerlusklikkivõltsimine

Partnerlusklikkivõltsimine, also known as affiliate click fraud, is a deceptive practice where individuals or automated systems generate fake clicks on affiliate links. The primary goal of this activity is to artificially inflate the click count for a particular affiliate link, thereby earning fraudulent commissions from merchants. This is typically achieved by using bots or click farms to repeatedly click on the links, making it appear as though genuine customer interest exists.

This type of fraud is detrimental to the affiliate marketing ecosystem. Merchants who pay commissions based on clicks can suffer financial losses due to these fake interactions. Affiliate networks and platforms also incur costs in detecting and preventing such fraudulent activities. For legitimate affiliates, partnerlusklikkivõltsimine can dilute their earnings and make it harder to compete fairly. Detecting this fraud often involves sophisticated algorithms that analyze click patterns, IP addresses, and user behavior to distinguish between genuine and artificial clicks. Prevention strategies include IP address blocking, CAPTCHA tests, and monitoring for unusual traffic spikes.
