Easy for a program to show a great conversion ratio when you count less uniques. CCBill client admin gives program owners lots of options on how to count uniques.

I think I set mine for 3 days expiry.
Wouldn't that mean other sites with a longer cookie expiration would be showing less uniques than Met-Art?

I remember Femjoy announcing in an email that they lengthened theirs quite a while ago, but Met-Art ..... I can't even find anything about cookies or sales tracking anymore in their affiliate terms.
