it penalizes traffic in making first one in the one who gets the gold.. and therefore encourages more deceptive tactics.

as i think you pointed out in later post, if you click 1 bangbros link with 1 aff ID, then later on clicked on another, the last aff ID *SHOULD* get the credit, because that is the one that closed/sealed the deal.

short term permanent cookies seems like a way to stop this fraud, i say it just opens up for creative folks to continue the fraud.. but penalize the legit affiliates sending traffic.



Fight the phraud!
