How am i being misleading?
I have stated numerous times that
YES if a program you are promoting
ONLY tracks sales using cookies and the user deletes all of their cookies, you wont get credit for the sale.
HOWEVER any program around in the industry right now does not only track using cookies, the also track using ip address, user agents and a slew of other methods which guarantee if a cookie is deleted that the affiliate still gets credited with the sale for referring the surfer.
@ sherm - how would having a bookmarked surfer on a site that tracks using multiple methods lose the affiliate a sale? Simply put, it wouldnt, sure the cookie would be deleted but the ip is still tracked, so is the user agent and whatever other method a program uses to track affiliate sales.
I really do think this whole 'deleting cookies' is a non-issue because it really doesnt matter, it seems like a lot of people are still stuck in the 90's thinking the only way affiliate programs track sales is with cookies LOL
Isnt the whole 'craze' about NATs that they dont just use cookies to track affiliate sales?
