I would have to say whether it be mainstream or adult, locked cookies will not be in your favor.

good to know, thanks.
I'm trying to offer "shared credit" if surfer is sent from multiple affiliates. I have to figure out the fairest payout weight 50/50, 10/90, 90/10, etc... and also factor in length of time that has passed, i.e. maybe:
- Eternal until overwritten
- Eternal, but after X days, must share credit with any new referer.
lots to work out.
I'm trying to incentivize affiliates to sign up sooner than later and promote the sites heavier in the beginning so that they get their original cookie in place. but I don't wish to cannibalize my own program or impact anyone's earnings.
perhaps there is another solution... that I just thought of.
