Commission on traffic you already had Live

# Anyone can see the ad. The question is whose it is.

Noticing an ad on your brand term is easy. Proving it belongs to an affiliate — and not to an ordinary advertiser — is the part that decides whether you can do anything about it.

Flagged · genuine network signal

**irclickid** is an Impact click identifier. **ranMID** is Rakuten, **cjevent** is CJ. These are issued by affiliate networks and appear nowhere else.

Ignored on purpose

**gclid**, **fbclid**, **msclkid** and a bare **utm\_source=google** mean ordinary paid traffic. Flagging those would bury you in false positives — most brand-term ads carry them, including your own.

Verdict: **affiliate, via Impact.** Commission is being earned on a click you had already won.

Then Marley finds out who they are

## A complaint needs a name, not a domain.

On demand, Marley opens the ad's own “About this advertiser” disclosure — Google's verified record of who paid for it — and keeps the result with a screenshot.
