Cookie Stuffing

[AussieDave]

I've come across a few sites who are using, what I consider, is cookie stuffing. That is, on each casino review page using an iframe to pull up each casino, as if the person clicked a link or banner and visited that site themselves. For casinos who use the last referrer, this trick wont work but for those who have a 30 day exp on cookies, this type of practice should be frowned upon. What are your thoughts?

These guys are in it for the short term, they'll get caught out by Google if they haven't already. Surprised advertisers allow cookie stuffing. I'm sure in most T&Cs it's disallowed in some form of description. Send an email from an anonymous hotmail account and report the stuffers to the advertiser. They're effectively draining the industry of revenue by popping up short lived sites and stuffing cookies, then dieing. This takes referrals away from hard working, honest affiliates.

Some people have gone to jail for a fair amount of time for it too! Could be seen as fraud. There are cases if you search them.
