If you are an affiliate marketer, there's not much you can do about this kind of conduct. If you notice someone else doing it you can contact the merchant. Don't worry too much about it, though. You can still build a successful business by doing the right thing. If, on the other hand, you are a merchant the best thing to do is to monitor your affiliates to make sure they're not doing anything shady. Hi Sussan, thanks for your comment.

Could it still happen if the affiliate links are cloaked? and what can we do about it? Is there a way even when cloaking is there to cover the affiliate links further? I would appreciate your help, as I am a newbie to the internet. Thanks, Sussan Hi Anna,

When rogue affiliates realize that their merchants won't let them get away with practices like this it may help clean up the industry.

Affiliates of those programs either haven\'t read the TOS or are deliberately violating them. Either way, the affiliate program will eventually catch on, so it makes sense to read the TOS and follow them to the letter.

If we don't, the suits will...like enforcing new laws to combat this practice. I don't know if it's even possible to police ourselves, but if we don't...we'll have the Feds all over us, snooping around and making life miserable for all the legitimate marketers. Any ideas?
