    When checking PPC ads on Google and Yahoo for certain keyterms, you can find exactly which affiliate (if any! ) is breaking any program restrictions by right clicking the ad, going to properties and finding the aff id in the clickthru code.
    But on MSN, this doesn't appear possible. The clickthru doesnt obviously show the aff id - no reason why it should.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for finding who is running which ads on msn? I just don't want to send out a warning email to all affs on the program when I could just email that one aff and ask them to lower their bid slightly.

    Cheers
    Mitch

    If you click through the ad and then look at the privacy policy in your browser you'll see the affiliatesIDs. You'll have problems with your method of right clicking if the affiliates pushes the links through their own server or a redirect to capture the keywords.

    Or use something to track the headers such as 'live http headers' for Firefox.

    Pete's way is easier and works much of the time, the http headers thing will help decloak all sorts of tracking.
