How do CPA Networks know about our Traffic Sources?

Hey there,

I've read a lot of times that: "ask you AM which offers are converting well on your Traffic source". Let's say I'm starting to run traffic with POF and start generating hundreds of conversions daily through a Landing Page. How can any Network has knowledge about where the traffic comes from to our Landing Page?

As far as I know browsers can ONLY send HTTP Header information about the previous page the user was redirected from. Is that correct? Am I missing something?


Cheers,
Zoltan

Hey Zoltan,

If they tried hard enough they could find out.

1) Referrer leaking - browsers don’t always do what you expect them to do
2) Cookies - affiliate network might inspect user cookies
3) Spying - easy enough for anyone to do
4) Aff’s telling their AM’s for approval etc

Hope that helps!
