I am just starting out in affiliate marketing but if they scrubbed my list I would look for an alt provider. Doesn’t seem fair that you give them the info .. they keep it and you not get credit

Interesting point of View….
Let me add one more point…If you have a direct relation with the Advertiser and if your Tracking mechanism is good..like in with us we give the option for the advertiser to put daily capping per affiliate and per Program, duplicate IP filters,Timely Cookie blocks etc….You really do not have the necessity to scrub.

But your point holds good if you are dealing with a third party advertisers through some other networks.

I’ve had one a CC submit offer, where I was making $200-300/day. Then 3 weeks later, it randomly and completely stop converting. It wasn’t a gradually drop-off, just 300$ it when from $0 for the next week, then I dropped the offer. Super Strange.

if you are doing volume with an aff network on an email/zip submit (and they are direct on the offer, not brokered) the network will be very transparent with you about your quality. if they aren’t, ask them after you do 100 leads or so and they will let you know and adjust your payout accordingly.. it’s a quality game, like everything else in the _performance_ industry.. I think the zip/email submit has received a bad name in the industry from n00bs who don’t understand the quality aspect of the CPA space

It happens and you get over it I guess. If you truly want to get over it just get your own offers and run them yourself, no middleman needed.

I also fully agree with this blog post. To the newbie, scrubbing would seem like an immoral action to hurt their possible sales, but in actuality I see it as a necessary action for businesses to take. Keep up the great work with your site!

If the advertiser is not seeing results than he should email scrub so he can get better results for what he is paying for.

Scrubs are very valid in the leadgen world. If you’re buying leads from someone to call those leads and the phone numbers don’t work. Those most likely are going to be scrubbed out. I always try and negotiate up front with an advertiser a fixed scrub %. Typical in the debt, mortgage world is around 10% scrub max. So what we’ll do sometimes if we can is negotiate a guarantee’d 3-5% up front scrub. This we my media buyers are guarnatee’d the return. There will be no clawback/scrubs after the fact to bring a campaign you once thought was profitable into the red.

For emailers they often prefer the after the fact scrubs but for media buyers I think the pre-negotiated is the way to go.
