خسارة الإيرادات من سوء نسب المبيعات (Revenue Leakage from Misattribution)
AED 15,000–50,000 annually (estimated 5-15% of affiliate commission revenue for mid-size news platforms); 20-30 hours/month manual reconciliation labor @ AED 150/hour = AED 3,000–4,500/month inefficiency costAffiliate revenue attribution in UAE news platforms lacks deterministic tracking. Search results show probabilistic attribution 'can be less accurate than concrete data points' [1].

Manual reconciliation between affiliate networks (Amazon Associates UAE, ClickBank, ShareASale) and accounting systems creates 15-30 day delays in payment verification.
احتيال الأفلييت والنقرات المزيفة (Affiliate Fraud & Fake Clicks)
AED 5,000–20,000 annually (estimated 2-10% of affiliate commission expense for typical news platform); 5-10 hours/month fraud investigation laborAffiliate marketing in UAE is growing [4] but lacks sophisticated fraud controls. Search results show reliance on 'pay-per-click' and 'pay-per-sale' models [3] but do not specify fraud detection mechanisms. Without deterministic attribution, it is impossible to validate whether a click came from a real user or a bot. News platforms using affiliate networks cannot distinguish legitimate conversions from cookie-stuffed or bot-generated sales until post-payout audit (if at all).
