Best Networks with least fraud?



Working on the affiliate side, I would think Neverblue as said previously, would be a place trustworthy to publish.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get in touch with AMs from Neverblue or A4D? I'm new to this whole game and my initial applications were denied by them. I'd like to speak with representatives from each company and see about changing their minds. I've called both and only get their answering service, which I've left messages with.
 
A4D AM's and owner itself visit WF more than ofthen. PM user smaxor

As for Neverblue, there is also rep (mine btw), but very rare visits here, androonb or so, forgot it :(

^^THIS, the fraud protection offered by any network is only as good as its weakest link. The dirty little secret with a lot of these bigger networks that brag about their state-of-the-art affiliate fraud detection is that they allow other (less desirable) networks with lower or nonexistent standards to sign up under one umbrella account which can hide alot of fraudulent leads when its mixed in with other sub-affiliates that are legitimate. This, and outright brokering of offers to take their middleman cut, pretty much negates any fraud counter-measures they have to stop individual fraudsters when the fraudsters can "sneak in" through brokered/sub-affiliate channels.

If you're still looking to contact Neverblue and A4D, both of the companies you mentioned have AIM contact names on their Affiliate Paying listings.

I like the pay per call idea, any suggestions as to how to start it? I believe CJ has it, anyone else?
 
In my opinion azoogleads has a great fraud protection system and compliance review team. I think that is great news for advertisers seeking quality leads and sales.

When looking for a network to promote your offers I think it is extremely important to know how their fraud protection system works. Its easy to just ask them questions and get a feel for what their process is. Without a strong support system you are putting yourself at risk by being blind to what kind of publishers you have running your offers. Personally, being in the fraud prevention department for DankCash, I would look for networks that have a screening process in every aspect starting right before are even accepted into the network. When an affiliate signs up they go through a screening process starting with a simple phone call. This is one of the most important parts of the procedure, without contact with the publisher there could be a flood of affiliates coming in that are all the same person looking to send fraudulent sales across x amount of profiles leaving him able to stay completely under the EPC ratio radar and make a lot of money for himself before they are terminated. So make sure they talk to the affiliate, check their address, their sign up IP, do they pay attention to the signatures on the tax forms these publishers send in? A lot of people get good at using proxies and making up names and addresses, I have sometimes even matched up handwriting from form to form and caught frauders that way. Making sure the network catches these frauders before they are even let into the network is huge, otherwise they will catch them before it is too late.

Once the publishers have made it into the network it is important to know that the network is proactively inspecting the traffic from their affiliates as well. We have seen a lot of fraud on the health, and edu offers that we can catch very quickly by simply inspecting the traffic the publisher is sending. A recent example that was caught was a publisher made it through the screening process by having banners placed on some websites that they paid to have placed and claimed the traffic was from there. Then we started seeing that all of the traffic was coming from the exact same url all the way down the line yet banners were placed on more then one url. What this fraudster was doing was using bots to fill out the offers and faking the referrer using a service such as http://referer.us/. This type of service is used by a lot of people for other not so whitehat methods and that's one thing fraud is completely different and just unacceptable. We have also seen a string of this same type of service being more clever and faking the referrer to be from mail.google.com/randomstring and no other sources for traffic. They are getting more and more clever but we are definitely a network that stays proactive at fighting fraud.

How is it possible that you can't/don't know how to get in and know how to promote CJ offers (for example) on the other side ? That was always broke my mind into pieces.

this argument is only valid for networks who haven't proven their reputation/longevity (*cough* DankCash)

there really is no argument to work with a non-reputable network who has been around less than 2-3 years. any shady operation can keep afloat for a while, but that 2-3 year mark can't really be avoided. not speaking down about you guys, but just throwing down my 2 cents.

you can throw in fun sound bytes like "fraud prevention", "top payouts", or "we work with reputable affiliates" but the fact of the matter is everything relies on long-standing and reputable networks that can prove themselves over the long-term.
