Use Case

Catch Fake Affiliate Leads Before You Pay the Commission

Affiliate programs attract fraud the way parking lots attract seagulls. Incentivized submitters, bot farms, and recycled lists inflate your payouts and tank client retention. TrafficValidator scores every affiliate submission in real time so you only pay on the ones that are real.

The Problem

  • Bad affiliates run bots and click farms to manufacture leads and cash in on volume.
  • Incentivized submitters pump disposable emails and throwaway numbers into your forms for a $2 reward.
  • Aged and recycled lists get resubmitted as fresh, violating program terms that nobody has time to enforce.
  • You are paying on volume with no visibility into the actual quality of what each affiliate sends.

The Solution

  • Score every affiliate-sourced lead in real time, before the commission event fires.
  • Pattern detection catches the giveaways: one device hitting five affiliate IDs, sequential email addresses, velocity spikes.
  • Email and phone validation rejects disposable, undeliverable, and recycled contact data.
  • Per-affiliate dashboards let you see who delivers real prospects and who is running a scam.
  • Set a quality threshold. Pay commission only on leads that clear it.
