Large-scale cookie stuffing. Vkontakte earn on sale Aliexpress
The huge Aliexpress marketplace continues to gain momentum. In terms of sales, Aliexpress has already overtaken Amazon and eBay together.
Many users not only buy products for themselves or for sale, but also participate in affiliate programs, attracting buyers through their affiliate links, for which they receive a percentage of sales. Many different affiliate programs work with Aliexpress: The official program portal.aliexpress.com, Admitad, Cityadspix, ePN and a few less common ones. The working conditions of some programs vary, but on average, it makes up about 3-4% of all purchases made by the user, following your links, within 30 days.
In anticipation of a large 11.11 sale on Aliexpress, many users are trying to cram their links wherever possible. Someone is spamming in comments on websites and social networks, someone is hanging contextual advertising in violation of the rules of affiliate programs. Everyone is trying to grab a piece of cake.

There are more resourceful "partners."
The site alitrack.ru made an upgrade and every visitor after the second transition on any internal links gets a pop-up tab with the address alitrack.ru/away/?http://www.aliexpress.com/ and further redirection to Aliexpress.com via the referral link via Admitad system.
But it's flowers.
First place certainly occupies the social network "Vkontakte". Not many managed to notice that when you click on any direct link to Aliexprss.com from the Vkontakte page, you are redirected to Aliexpress via a redirect that will make you a referring resourceful VK administrator or employees of some kind of “referral development department”.
Check it out is easy. It is enough to send the aliexpress.com link to a private message in VK, and then click on it. You will see redirection through the alipromo.com domain, it is a redirect through the ePN affiliate program.
For example, you can follow the link from the official Aliexpress group.
Tested on two laptops using different browsers with disabled extensions, a smartphone and an iPad. Tested both through wire and through the mobile Internet. The result is the same.
It is possible that the administration of ePN is up to date and there are even special discounts for such special customers. It’s hard to imagine how much volume goes through this scheme, but I’m ready to argue that this partner is in ePN in the first place in terms of conversions.
PS:
Shawn D. Hogan used cookie stuffing in the WhoLinked widget he designed. As a result, Hogan received a commission for purchases made on eBay by visitors to the blogs where this widget was installed. He earned about $ 30 million in this scheme, but in August 2008 he had to stand trial.
He faces up to 20 years in prison.
