A traffic leak is something on merchants site that will cause visitor, that you referred to their site, to get distracted and leave merchant site, leaving you with no possibility of receiving any kind of commission.Having traffic leaks does not mean affiliate program is a scam or trying to cheat you. It is most likely that merchant just doesn't realize what they are doing. If you are promoting an affiliate program that is not getting any sales for you, you may want to check for traffic leaks. If you find some then contact merchant (in a professional manner) and ask if they would consider removing traffic leaks from their site to increase conversion. Advertisement Banners & Links This is usually most common traffic link. The merchant will put up a banner ad or two and some text links to "offset" their expenses. You do not want to promote an affiliate program that has this on their site. When you send a visitor to site and they click banner or text ad and go to other site merchant gets paid while you get zippo. Not to fair is it?
