# Suspension Catalogue

## Our suspension catalogue is a comprehensive list of the different compliance breaches that can result in an affiliate's account suspension from the network.

**Brand Bidding**

- Running Google Ads on brand plus coupon or code terms that link through affiliate tracking
- Bidding directly on an advertiser's brand name or misspellings without approval
- Creating ads that appear to be the advertiser's official ad but redirect through an affiliate link

**Fraudulent / Manipulated / Unethical Traffic**

- Generating fake transactions using stolen or fake customer details
- Driving traffic through bots, forced pop ups, or misleading redirects
- Encouraging customers to complete a purchase with the intention of cancelling or refunding it

**Low Quality Website**

- Pages with little to no original content, such as scraped or auto generated pages
- Sites filled with broken links, excessive ads, or misleading information
- Publishing expired, invalid, or inaccurate offers as active deals

**Multiple Accounts, Same Promotional Methods**

- Running multiple accounts that promote using the same website or traffic source
- Using different accounts to drop multiple cookies for the same customer
- Splitting identical activity across accounts to avoid detection or limits

**Replicated / Lookalike Website**

- Copying another website's layout and content to appear identical
- Using a domain or branding that mimics a known affiliate or advertiser
- Republishing stolen articles or product pages as original content

**Tracking Manipulation**

- Triggering affiliate clicks or cookies without a genuine user click, for example auto redirects or hidden iframes
- Overwriting another affiliate's tracking after a customer has already reached the advertiser's site
- Firing tracking on page load or at checkout without any user interaction

**Unverifiable Promotional Method**

- Traffic coming from unknown sources with no clear referrer or URL
- Refusing or failing to explain how traffic is generated when asked
- Using undisclosed channels, such as hidden networks or third-party media buying
