Affiliates & Paid Search

[Jwm909]

We recently started accepting affiliates and are already seeing brisk sales and a steady stream of applicants. The trouble is, we're also seeing several affiliates bidding on our brand name in paid search, sometimes surpassing our own bids and blocking our own ads in direct violation of the affiliate agreement.

How stupid are these people? We're kicking them out and denying commissions at a clip of about 2 affiliates a day.

Takes a close eye or you can end up growing your own competition!

Needs to be monitored and controlled at all times or would be wiped out
