NATS cookie question...please help
 

if a surfer joins thru my link (under a NATS system) to a sponsor website but he has visited that site before (with the link of another affiliate)...a cookie records the first visit so the other guy gets credited for the sale I really pushed?

NATS4 track and strack - Tmmwiki



Same Surfer Hits Different Track Links?
If the same surfer hits more than one track link, also known as linkcode, NATS will use the tracking information for the most recent affiliate. For example:
A surfer passes through the tracking link for affiliate 1, and NATS creates a cookie and starts tracking for affiliate 1. If the same surfer then travels through a tracking link for affiliate 2, NATS begins tracking for affiliate 2, forgetting about affiliate 1.
The only exception to this is In-House affiliates. In-house affiliates will not override the old affiliate's NATSCode, so the old affiliate's code will be used. Continuing from the above example:
If affiliate 3 is an In-House affiliate and the surfer goes through the tracking link for affiliate 3, NATS will ignore tracking for this affiliate and will use the tracking information for affiliate 2.







In short if surfer follows YOUR link it will overwrite other cookie unless it is a inhouse cookie..

what do you mean with inhouse affiliate? that he belongs to the same sponsor program?

inhouse affiliates are either hired affiliates to build and manage sites and push traffic or pre-paid for traffic spots.


what juicy is saying last affiliate gets the sale.,

that is the reason many major websites are using popunders , to push the cookie to surferer.,

popunders are new age's legal cookie stufffing. ,

whut?? how the hell does that make sense?

the popunder either makes the sale, by bringing the surfer's attention to the offer, or is the 1st cookie stored, overridden by another affiliate's diaplay/offer

Last cookie makes the sale = no cookie stuffing. Not a single thing in your post makes any sense whatsoever* :upsidedow
