Paysite owners, affiliates sales versus nonaffiliated credited sales from IE7 surfers
 

Does anyone have some numbers for this?...

This number ofcourse needs to be compared to the rest of the IE versions...

According to our logs 45% of all IE people already changed to IE7.. and if there's some sort of cookie blocking problem in the new version...

80% of our surfers is using IE and 42% of those is using the new 7.0 version

There's some people in the below thread experiencing IE7 deleting all their cookies and wont let them do sessions...

More cookie IE7 problems..

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question...8092916AAA8XWh

I have IE7 on XP and Vista and cookies work fine on my end.

"Is there no way, to stop it deleting cookies, even when you tick remember me. Name and cookies deleted. Other than that I quite like IE 7"

"I installed IE7,but uninstalled it, because It blocked everything.all the cookies the websites i frequent etc etc..."

"So a few days ago, I reformatted my computer and an update for IE7 came up. Just curious to see, I downloaded it. When i Started using it all it did was **** me off by blocking everything, spam guard, and other stuff like that."

Yeah, I've tested it as well and it works fine here too.. never the less it seems like people are having problems using it.. maybe some earlier versions or something

I just read the IE7 has a "one button click" option to delete all cookies, is this correct?

Is so .. what do the next door husband do after he surfed porn? He would most likely click this button wouldn't he?

from our stats were at about 30% of surfers using IE7 now

Yes, in the upper right hand corner there is an "Delete browsing history" option.

lol, is it just me or will this more or less take away 75% of all our returning customers sales? (75% of the IE7 surfers that is)

bump............

Not many paysite owners interested in this subject ;)

I think all versions of IE have that function

yes most likely.. danger, will robinson!

Cookies are so 1999

I am pretty sure there are no affiliate programs out there that rely just on cookies. Most will have IP tracking, or a combination of both.

When a surfer clicks your affiliate link his IP address is stored in a database together with your affiliate ID. If there is a join from this IP address, the sale will be credited to you.

Of course not everyone has a static IP, but together with cookie and session tracking this still should cover at least about 80 - 90% of all surfers. I think it is pretty normal that about 10% of your traffic won't get tracked at all.
