Marcode

## What is Marcode?

Marcode spots and stops brand-bidding hijackers, coupon-leaking browser extensions, and any partner who bends the rules. Automations cancel commissions, warn offenders, and shut down repeat bad actors so you don’t lose hours in spreadsheets. If you’re losing budget, it’s probably because: - Rogue affiliates hijack your brand or impersonate you in Google brand searches. - "Helpful" coupon extensions leak codes and steal last-click credit. - Vetting and enforcement still rely on manual checks and slow network tools. Marcode fixes that by: - Detecting every breach in real time - brand impersonation, ad hijacking, leaked coupons, and more. - Auto-cancelling commissions & suspending offenders via built-in integrations with major affiliate networks. Save money, protect your customers, and run a zero-drama affiliate program. No jargon required.

Excellent, a real time and money saver, not just on commission but on overall brand CPC's. It's given us back full control!

Pros

The ability to quickly identify any form of illicit brand bidding or adhijacking, the tool easily allows us to gain full visibility of any publisher activity including encrypted site ID's. Having this information to hand saves a lot of time investigating, being able to send evidence quickly to our network and offending publishers decreases the time significantly on removal of offending activity.

Cons

None, the platform is brilliant, does everything we need it too. We use it daily, I've not encountered any bugs either.

Overall, I would say my experience with Marcode is very positive - it has helped us to remove so many bad actors from the programme and helps us to be one step ahead ad-hijackers!

Pros

Everything is very clearly organised on the site - very user friendly. Also easy to switch from different accounts. Also Marcode is very thorough with it's searches meaning we can be confident we aren't missing any bad actors.

Cons

Sometimes it can take a while to load but I've found this has improved. Would maybe be good if there was a function to set up a weekly/monthly automated email from Marcode which provides a summary for the account or something like that? Not sure if there is a way to set this up already.

Response from Vendor

July 9, 2025

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with Marcode, Isabelle. I'm glad we've helped you to keep the bad actors under control. We have recently (July '25) released a significant update which has allowed us to improve the initial load times. This has been an issue for a little while and caused primarily by the amount of data we process, but we're confident we've cracked it and are keeping a close eye on our load time metrics. We do already have the ability for you to receive daily, weekly, or monthly summary emails about the activity in your account. I will reach out to help you get these set up and see if there's there's anything else we can be doing to make it easier for you to manage things. - Alec

The whole process with Marcode has been a pleasure from beginning to end. They have gone above and beyond every step of the way.

Pros

I really appreciated their willingness and eagerness to build a custom solution for us, and they've been extremely responsive to all correspondence. The additional insights on top of that have also been super helpful.

Cons

Honestly, I'm not really sure that there has been anything that I have not liked about Marcode or our experience with them. If I had to say something it would maybe be that their insights are not as advanced or in depth as others I have seen, but the value is there.

My experience with Marcode has been all positive. We've had multiple calls and meetings with Andy to discuss our experiences of ad-hijacking/brand bidding. I feel like Marcode listen to the feedback we give and incorporate that into making their product even better and that we're on the same wavelength trying to crack down on dodgy publishers within the space!

Pros

I like the easy to use interface and the passion from the Marcode staff around the product and striving to make the affiliate industry a better place. It's easy to locate brand bidders/ad-hijackers on the platform and i really like the view where you can see when brand bidders have been bidding throughout the week by hour.

Cons

The only thing I would say is the website sometimes takes a while to load when starting it up but apart from that, i don't have anything bad to say

Impact.com paid search monitoring tool's reporting platform was poor and wasn't finding ad-hijacks that were happening on the platform. The team spent a lot of time finding these manually as the platform wasn't really fit for purspose

Response from Vendor

July 6, 2025

Thanks a ton for the kind words and for feeding back improvements that would make life easier. I’m glad the hourly-heatmap view is proving useful. You’re spot-on about the initial load times on when you first log in each day: For a long time, these waits were unavoidable due to the amount of data we process/need to analyse. However, we pushed out a massive data platform upgrade last week (July ’25) and that cut report wait times by about 70%. Right now 96% of reports load in under a second, and we’re tracking the other 4% obsessively. Shout if you still notice any sluggishness and we’ll dig into it. - Alec

Pros

Very easy to use, with AI-driven automated screening of ads that help quickly and easily detect for any bad actors. We use it for a major affiliate program.

Cons

The website can be a touch laggy, with occasional complete freezes. Aside from that, I've got no issues!

Hey Sammy - thrilled the platform is saving you time on that big program. We did a big under-the-hood data platform update at the start of July which has cut out most of the lag that you would have previously experienced. If you still see any freezes, ping me and we’ll diagnose exactly what went on. Thanks for riding shotgun with us as we tighten the screws. - Alec

Very pleasant experience and the tool was tested simultaneously with the other top tools in the space but none were able to detect the complex cloaking like Marcode.

Pros

The tool is incredibly sophisticated and able to spot hijackers that other tools were not able to and this has been crucial for us to find these across our client's affiliate programs

Cons

My only feedback would be that there could be some UX improvements to the dashboard

Hi Chikay - love hearing our anti-cloaking tech is catching dodgy affiliates that others miss. UX polish is a never-ending project for us. We ship tweaks almost every week and we tailor dashboards during onboarding and beyond, so if you have a wishlist (big or small) just drop it over and I’ll see what we can do to weave it into the product. - Alec

Pros

This tool is incredibly user friendly vs other competitors that I have used in the past. The platform is well structured, allowing a view on ad hijacking and brand bidding in each channel and separating this accordingly - making it clear which channel it is coming through on. The platform also provides a significant amount of information that is easy to understand for those who have not had a huge exposure to this type of data monitoring.

Cons

I have had a few occasions where the platform has crashed at the initial stages of logging in - not sure if this is due to the platform having bugs or something else.

Response from Vendor

July 6, 2025

Hi Layla - thanks for the thoughtful rundown. I’m glad the channel breakdown and extra context are hitting the mark. We did have a startup-time bottleneck (the culprit behind those occasional crashes) and rolled out a new data stack in early July ’25. First-login waits are now 70 % faster and most reports appear instantly. If you ever hit another bump, shoot me a note and we’ll jump on it. - Alec
