Does CCBill and NATS programs pay out for affiliates on first or last click? - GoFuckYourself.com

So how does their tracking work, is it the first affiliate to send the user to the site or the last?

By this I mean say affiliate ID 123456 sends a user to site xxx.com, they don't join then, but carry on surfing, then click another affiliate link to the same site from affiliate 987654, and then joins - which affiliate gets credited with the sale?

Cheers

NATS will credit the affiliate who most recently sent the user through their NATS link.

it's the most recent affiliate that gets credited

987654 gets the sale.

I've always wondered this.

If it's the last affiliate who gets a visitor to click, then perhaps it can be a DISADVANTAGE to be at the top of Google for a search term.

Why?

1. Your site appears at the top.
2. Person visits your site.
3. You send them to X sponsor via a link on your site.
4. Sale. Hopefully.

That's kinda retarded thinking

The CCBill system works the same. The last link clicked will receive the credit.

do either nats or ccbill have any "anti-hijack" methods ? for example , zango was known to popup identical sponsors over your clicked links, i suggest both companies do something like have a "minimum" time criteria for overwriting cookies. If a cookie is being rewritten seconds after another cookie is set, something fishy is going on ..

Not easy to quantify but there will be a fairly large percentage of people that will Google, and then keep going down the top few results looking at all the free stuff that's available first before clicking through to the site!

I think it should be the last click and it usually is, although I did once see a CCBill program who somehow custom-coded their stuff to keep a cookie, even if new affiliates sent traffic -- I stopped sending traffic to them.
