Protect your affiliate program by blocking affiliate referrals from search engines and search ads using the Traffic Source Control feature.
This feature enables you to block traffic from the following search engines: Google, Bing, Baidu, and Yandex. By activating this setting, you can reduce unwanted affiliate traffic and lower the risk of fraudulent activity.
Here's how to enable it:
Navigate to the 'Traffic source control' setting within your campaign setup.
Toggle the feature on to block traffic from Google, Bing, Baidu, and Yandex. This includes traffic from search ads.
Enable or disable the blocklist on a per-campaign basis, depending on your needs.
We recommend updating your affiliate program's terms of service to clearly communicate that traffic from search ads is prohibited.
