An affiliate network is a platform that connects advertisers (also known as merchants or brands) with publishers (also called affiliates). These networks act as intermediaries, facilitating the tracking of affiliate links, conversion monitoring, and commission payouts.
What Is an Affiliate Network?
Affiliate networks simplify the relationship between sellers and promoters by:
- Hosting offers from various merchants
- Providing tracking pixels and cookies
- Measuring clicks, conversions, and commissions
Common affiliate networks include CJ Affiliate, ShareASale, Rakuten Advertising, and Amazon Associates. Due to their strict detection systems, managing accounts from the same device or browser environment can trigger bans and account suspensions.
Why Managing Affiliate Networks Can Be Risky
Affiliate marketers often work with multiple accounts across various networks and regions to:
- Diversify offers and campaigns
- Maximize ROI on different traffic sources
- A/B test different creatives and landing pages
However, if a network detects that several accounts are operated from the same digital fingerprint, it can suspect unfair practices, such as self-referrals or fraud. This leads to elevated risk of account association and restriction.
