Again though, this is only an issue if a program uses JUST cookies to track sales, hardly any that i know of, including CCBill based affiliate programs use JUST cookies :2 cents:

The surfer selects which cookies they want to remove before the cleaning process even starts so that they can select cookies that contain user/pass combos to be saved, once they have selected their cookie cleaning options, they can be saved as the default profile to use every time they run the software manually or every scheduled operation.

I wasn't referring to programs "relying solely on cookies to track sales", I was referring to losing my typein/bookmark/return sales.

Only an idiot would think that a surfer won't delete ALL cookies... they aren't really that sophisticated about it.

Yea, people wasting their Exit link on Google are throwing money away...to Google. Google's happy to have it of course.

For anyone who would be promoting the evidence-erasing stuff, I have the domain EliminateEvidence.com. Would be better to send people to than direct to site w/ aff link, plus you can set up a page/site on it and get search traffic to it too. Just a thought. :)

Which you wouldnt, unless the program was only using cookies to track your sales and 99.99% of them dont, they use a combination of methods including cookies, ip address and even query strings to track a sale to an individual affiliate.

Simple deleting cookies wont interrupt the affiliate being credited with sales as there are other options there to track the affiliate who referred the surfer to the paysite.

And again, i would say even if a surfer DID delete all cookies, it still wouldnt effect the referring affiliate from being credited with the sale on a return visit to the site as many programs also use ip tracking, php sessions and countless other methods to track affiliate sales.

Simple deleting a cookie is not going to make one iota of difference to an affiliate being credited with a sale to 99.99% of the affiliate programs out there and if you are promoting that remaining 0.01% of programs that do only use cookies to track sales, you are already losing sales :2 cents:

I wasn't talking about putting it on my page, I was talking about sponsors who put it on theirs and use my traffic to make themselves money.

Oh you mean like they do now with pop-up consoles, cross-sales, exit chains, upsells in the members area, etc... Gotcha :)

I send to popup free tours, I try to avoid cross sales, exit chains are out also, and upsells in the members area? I already made my money off the surfer, if they wanna try to sell them more, their choice...

Which of the major affiliate program scripts use ip tracking, other than ccbill?

PHP sessions rely on cookies.

Can you please list some of the countless other methods?

NATs does im also told that Executive Stats does too.

As for countless other methods, how about user agents, cookie, browser sessions, and querie strings - Which you can read up about on the NATs site ;)

Trust me, deleting a cookie in todays age of affiliate marketing rarely results in an affiliate losing a sale unless a program has it setup that way.

I can tell you are new... your best bet is to market this directly to programs and not to affiliates... at least not here... mayby iq69... because they are dumb fucks too.

czarina 10-05-2009 03:12 PM
doesnt evidence wipe remove the cookies and keep you from getting paid?
I would promote something that doesnt screw webmasters instead.

I'm not going to keep on going back and forth with you. I'm not trying to be a dick here, I actually know quite a bit about this subject and I think you're being misleading.

+1

I'm not trying to be a dick either, but any potential for an affiliate losing a bookmark or a re-typein is something that I believe most programs will shy away from. :2 cents:

How am i being misleading?

I have stated numerous times that YES if a program you are promoting ONLY tracks sales using cookies and the user deletes all of their cookies, you wont get credit for the sale.

HOWEVER any program around in the industry right now does not only track using cookies, the also track using ip address, user agents and a slew of other methods which guarantee if a cookie is deleted that the affiliate still gets credited with the sale for referring the surfer.

@ sherm - how would having a bookmarked surfer on a site that tracks using multiple methods lose the affiliate a sale? Simply put, it wouldnt, sure the cookie would be deleted but the ip is still tracked, so is the user agent and whatever other method a program uses to track affiliate sales.

I really do think this whole 'deleting cookies' is a non-issue because it really doesnt matter, it seems like a lot of people are still stuck in the 90's thinking the only way affiliate programs track sales is with cookies LOL

Isnt the whole 'craze' about NATs that they dont just use cookies to track affiliate sales? :helpme

You're missing the point...The point is that is that affiliate programs need to assure the affiliate that their sales are safe. If there is something with a 0.00000000001% chance of losing a sale for that affiliate down the road, then it must be avoided.

Yes, multiple measures are in place with most programs to assure that all tracks correctly. However, I think we all know that a perfect world where everything works as it should 100% of the time, does not exist. In other words, affiliate programs don't need to add a variable in the mix that potentially could fuck things up.

Your program is good for a site owner pushing his site, and his site alone. :2 cents:

You're only thinking in the short term, like a single session.

What happens if the surfer returns a few days later, via typing in the paysite name, then signs up? The ONLY way to properly attribute this sale to an affiliate is with a cookie. The affiliate will lose that sale if the surfer has run your software in the meantime.
