Affiliate Fraud Detection

Affiliates Are Bidding on Your Brand. We Catch Them.

The average mid-market brand pays $40K–$180K a year in commissions to affiliates running unauthorized Google Ads against their own brand name. Your first confirmed cases land in your inbox within 24 hours, and we keep watching — twenty-four hours a day, from eight countries. If we find nothing, you don’t pay.

How it works: Submit your brand — we scan Google Ads from 8 regions — you get a full fraud report in 24 hours. Free. No account needed.

The problem

You're Paying Affiliates to Steal Your Own Customers

Brand-bid abuse isn't theoretical. It is a customer searching for you, clicking a sponsored result from someone else, and triggering a commission on a sale that likely would have happened anyway.

01

A customer searches for your brand.

A real user searches your brand plus a buying modifier like coupon, deal, or promo.

02

An affiliate intercepts the click.

A sponsored affiliate ad sits above your own result and routes the visitor through tracked links first.

03

You still pay for the sale.

The customer converts anyway, but now the order carries a commission for traffic that was already yours.

10-30% of affiliate payouts go to unauthorized brand bidding, especially when coupon and promo keywords go unmonitored.

Most brands find out about this months too late — or never.

We built AdCrime so you can find out today, for free.

Our approach

I'm not building a VC-funded enterprise platform with a sales team and a demo calendar. AdCrime is an independent tool. No investors. No bullshit. Just accurate fraud detection at a fair price.

I built this because the existing tools cost $500–1,200/month and require sales calls. Every brand deserves to know if affiliates are stealing their traffic — not just the ones with six-figure compliance budgets.

One caught fraudster pays for a year of AdCrime.

— Mario, Founder

Unlimited Brands

No project limits on any plan. Monitor as many brands as you need.

Pay for What You Use

Credits adapt to any config — more keywords in fewer regions, or fewer keywords in more.

API Access

Enterprise plan includes full API access. Integrate fraud data into your existing tools.

The Deal

All I'm Asking Is That You Look.

Look — I'm not going to ask you to decide if this is worth it from a landing page. That would be insane. The whole point of AdCrime is that the fraud is invisible until somebody looks. So all I'm asking is that you let me look. Sign up, let us scan your program, and read the evidence we send you. If it's worth what we're charging, you keep it. If it isn't, you walk away — no questions, no card charge, no hard feelings.

“Day one or day thirty — if you're not happy, I'm not happy.”

That's the whole deal.

I Guarantee It.

How Credits Work

1 credit = 1 keyword in 1 region before any automatic volume discount.

Larger configurations get cheaper per-unit pricing, but cost always increases when you add more keywords or regions.

Unused subscription credits roll forward for one billing cycle.

A single confirmed fraudster can justify the subscription quickly if the payout leakage is real.

Example workload

3 keywords × 3 regions × daily cadence can fit comfortably inside an Entry plan.

Multi-brand daily monitoring across multiple regions usually pushes teams into Pro.

Enterprise exists for programs that want broad, always-on coverage without rationing usage.
