Is a 10 day cookie usual for Nats progs?
 

Its not really drama - I just noticed that a prog I am promoting spells out that they have a 10 day cookie for signs - Lifetime for rebills, which is great....

Its not a drama, I just wonder if this is normal?

Some have as low as 24 hours.

10 is above average these days. I use this to keep an eye on the cookies http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html

It's useful to check these things when joining a new program, but ultimately we must judge the program on the rate that we earn money from it.

I reluctantly promoted a program with a 1 day cookie, it left me with the feeling I was getting scammed, but it did sell better than some programs which have 5 day cookies. If I see a 30 day+ cookie I normally jump straight onboard and enthusiastically send traffic over, then after 10,000 clicks I'll see if it's paying.

Though this is not an exact science, you can often get a idea of who you are dealing with by the length of their cookie. (Note: Some have it on default and don't even know they can change it)

I always imagine the biggest of assholes here saying 'Lazy affiliates don't deserve commission for 3 days because 1 day is plenty!' as they change it from the default to one day while thinking 'Those retarded affiliates will never notice and if they do fuck em' and that tells me all I need to about promoting them. :upsidedow

The default cookie lifetime for NATS is 30 days.

Seems legit to me.

and some of them have one click cookies
In past I was worried about this practice but right now I`v just watch on ratio :thumbsup

i cant afford a ten day cookie... or even a single cookie... fuck I'm hungry ! :(

I'm not running Nats but I have my ccbill program setup for 45 day cookies,

I don't see why everyone doesn't set cookie length higher it is YOUR TRAFFIC and YOU should get the credit for it!
