What Is Affiliate Ad Hijacking And How To Combat It?
Affiliate Ad hijacking, also known as “URL hijacking”, involves malicious affiliates creating deceptive ads that closely resemble a brand’s official advertisements. The goal is to mislead online shoppers by directing their clicks to redirect them to the brand’s website through affiliation by using identical headlines, descriptions, and display URL. The process involves bypassing landing page controlled by the affiliate and going straight to the brand’s website.
