any program with a fraud system worth a damn doesn't need to request that shit anyway... On top of that, any webmaster worth a damn doesn't need to hide shit, because if getting sales were as easy as checking a few sites copying them and using the same traffic anyone could do it--which is and never has been true. You guys aren't giving yourselves enough credit. We pay our webmasters what we do for a reason, they are good at it.

if you do your own knowhow sure better to hide, if you just copy and paste, sure you dont care :) :winkwink: and if sponsors demands sources of your solid quality legit traffic, you know the reason :winkwink: happenned to me, and it hurts, but what to do :)

i've had a sponsor start buying adwords for the exact term of my domain that was sending them good sales. i thought that was a bit rude.

in mainstream it is common practice

they use tracking software to hide the ref and are very protective of the source.

:2 cents:

As well as affiliates purchasing adword for the sponsor program main sites :)

Well said! The OP is a wackjob. Just looked up his other post to confirm he is a troll after he took his precious time to post rude comments in one of my post.

Thanks.. I needed that :thumbsup

Of course you should always try and hide your sources of traffic. For the most part, webmasters are just a form of outsourced labor to affiliate programs. The more webmasters who are working doing all the manual tube submitting, gallery building, and descriptions, the better. But when a sponsor can easily take a wembasters traffic source and do it better or cheaper without the affiliate, they will. This is especially true with buying traffic.

If your traffic is valid and no CB and other shit, you have all rights to protect your traffic sources from my point of view. But some sponsors will not like that.

If you show your detailed traffic sources it's like showing your cards. That is why you are there and they are paying you in the first place. Show it to them and you may as well work for them for free.
