As a seasoned affiliate I can tell most the time when I am losing money with CBBG's. However its almost impossible to tell without running extensive tests whether a merchant is using adwords and their own PPC activities to lower their 'affiliate' outgoings and overwriting local last referrer tracking by bidding on their own brand. I also assume that many brands may be forced to dedupe when bidding on their brand now, after the new google trademark rules have come into action and they may be seeing their own trademark bidded on by comparable competitors.
