Are they flagged in CJ as a special publisher - tagged for using some type of download app, rebate reminder service or toolbar? If so it sounds like a parasite. Parasites steal from your honest affiliates and simply take credit for sales that should have been credited to them. They can kill your reputation. 'Marketing vehicles' very well could be Adware so ask them point blank to show you how they are making sales.

"how can I attract more of these types"

IF they are parasites you don't want more of them. And again THEY are not making all the sales they are just taking credit that SHOULD have gone to other affiliates.

This may not be the case but, you have a right as a merchant and a responsibility to your honest affiliates to know how a publisher, especially a top performer is making sales.
