Adware Fact Sheets

Affiliatefairplay will provide summaries of our testing results for adware with a focus on their behaviors in relation to their revenue generation.

AffiliateFairPlay.com has opted to move away from labeling an adware application. as "clean" or not. There is a lack of consensus within the affiliate marketing industry as to the definition of 'clean' and standards of practice.

Instead, AFP will test specific behaviors of the adware application which potentially impact upon an affiliate's or merchant's revenue and/or traffic and those behaviors which tend to be controversial. We will only provide objective information as to whether or not behaviors were observed and each individual can assess the importance of the overall results in their individual business model.

This should not be considered a complete list of adware applications.
