Banned Keywords and Marketing Practices Be warned that our vendors are becoming increasingly protective of their brands and are now actively patrolling the Internet looking for affiliates who are misusing their marks. Just so you know, here are some general guidelines you need to follow if you plan to work with Commission River:
Never use the name of a vendor in a Pay-Per-Click Title
Never use the domain of a vendor in a PPC URL description
Never use the name of a vendor in a domain name (e.g. ComcastCableInternet.com)
Only use logos of vendors if previously authorized. Stick to approved banners and buttons.
Some vendors who are sensitive about their brands include LifeLock, all cable and DSL providers, WireFly, and all Telarus vendors. Any violation of these rules will force us to take punitive measures against any agent who is found in violation. Breaking these rules puts everyone at risk, so please, don't risk your commission check for a risky PPC campaign.
Likewise, we are blocking all traffic exchanges that have been beating up our servers with non-stop junk traffic. If you belong to a traffic exchange, please save your money - we are in the process of developing a comprehensive search engine strategy training program as well as new Premium Remote XML Sites that will allow you to actually rank in Google and pull legitimate traffic.
