Opinions Needed: Affiliate Fairness Issue!

So, as our affiliate program has become more developed, we've run into issues we didn't originally anticipate.

Example: A guy comes to our site roboticblowjob.com from a link placed by an affiliate on a blog, etc. He looks around and doesn't buy. Two weeks later, he comes again and buys, but he arrived by clicking the affiliate link of another affiliate, on a different blog.

Since we use NATS, we are able to see where both of the visits came from.

What is the fair way to handle this situation? Who gets the credit?

I would think the second guy gets the sale, but seems my programming team thinks its fair that the first guy gets it! So, I thought I'd post here to find out what the industry standard might be, if such a thing exists.

Thanks guys.
