Want to bid on the advertisers brand terms?

Generally speaking, the cheapest and highest converting clicks will be the brand terms of the advertisers you're promoting. However, they usually don't allow affiliates to do this.


IF I was wanting to get around this, I would just daypart while people are out of the office. To be even safer, when most people are sleeping. Usually it is someones job in-house at the advertiser to periodically check these terms but they only do it when they're in the office.

If you get caught, you could get dropped, FYI. It also helps to make sure you're masking the keyword it is coming from. You'd feel dumb if they could see from your traffic that you were bidding on their brand terms.

What a stupid suggestion it is. A wisdom above average man would not risk a buncle of existing commision to make such an poor extra money.
You could earn much more if you put your precious time on creative stuff, rather than playing around advertisers.

i agree with dickson.

but to take it to the next level instead of bidding during the night where there is more traffic just find out where they have the offices and target everywhere but that state.

Or find the hostname/ip range used by the ISP that provides internet to said company and block them. Then you can even get people in that state. I guess that only works on the LP side, and not the SE side, but if you cloak it to be something non-company related they probably won't care.
