Violation Management Guide for Advertisers on Involve Asia

At Involve Asia, we take traffic quality and compliance very seriously. Our Violation Management process protects advertisers from fraudulent, non-compliant, or suspicious activities while ensuring transparency and fairness across all campaigns.


1. What Is Violation Management?

Violation Management is the process of detecting, investigating, and resolving suspicious publisher activity that may violate campaign terms, advertiser policies, or compliance rules.

Examples of violations include (but are not limited to):

  • Brand bidding without approval

  • Incentivized traffic where not permitted

  • Misleading or false promotions

  • Click spamming or cookie stuffing

  • Unauthorized placements or channels


2. How the Process Works

Step 1: Report a Suspected Violation

Advertisers can notify us of suspicious activity by providing evidence such as:

  • Tracking link data

  • Screenshots of placements

  • Timestamps or activity logs

  • Examples of misleading or unrelated content


Step 2: Investigation

Our compliance and publisher management team will:

  • Review the submitted evidence

  • Analyze traffic and tracking data patterns

  • Contact the publisher (if needed) for clarification


Step 3: Action Taken

Based on the investigation, actions may include:

  • Issuing a warning to the publisher

  • Temporarily or permanently suspending the publisher

  • Blocking the publisher from current and future campaigns

  • Applying internal measures to prevent recurrence

Advertisers will be updated on the outcome of the investigation.


Step 4: Commission Scrubbing & Alignment

Once a violation is confirmed, we will work with you to:

  • Decide if commissions during the violation period should be scrubbed

  • Define the exact date range the scrub applies to

  • Ensure all payment records are updated for transparency


3. Your Role as an Advertiser

To make violation management effective, advertisers should:

  • Flag violations promptly with supporting evidence

  • Confirm scrub decisions to align records

  • Stay connected with our account managers for updates


4. Why This Matters

Strong violation management ensures:

  • Campaign integrity is maintained

  • Brand reputation is protected

  • Fair play across the affiliate ecosystem

  • Trust between advertisers and publishers is reinforced
