Policy promises won’t stop PPC from intercepting affiliate credit. Learn to audit search term reports, SubID exports, and pixel data for real attribution collisions—before budget decisions that pretend overlap doesn’t exist.
PPC and affiliate dashboards both rise, yet profit stalls? Run this attribution collision audit to uncover where paid search silently erases affiliate credit.
Banned cloaked landings vs legitimate redirect hygiene: taxonomy, program vs ad-platform referees, honest bridges, Amazon pointer, and a same-offer audit.
Paid traffic to affiliate offers needs platform reality, kill math, and a 2026 tracking spine (Data Manager offline + Meta CAPI). Map production breaks; open the deep-dives.
Approved affiliate campaigns still die when ad platforms restrict accounts. Build continuity: diversify, document, learn the appeal path early, and hold a cash runway.
