zango and affiliate cookies
I have been reading through the zango threads, and there have been some great suggestions on the affiliate side to cope with such programs.
I wanted to start a discussion on what can be done on the affiliate program side to guard against this.
There was some suggestions before about maybe locking a cookie from being overwritten for x minutes.
problem with that, is that an affilaite page could have keyword that triggers a foreign popup, and an Affiliate cookie could be set with a pop-under, and with a cookie timeout lock, the affiliate click from the page wouldn't get recorded since the foreign page got in first.
i am designing a new affiliate system and this issue to protect affiliates is something i am particular concerned about and focusing on to create a solution.
so let's brainstorm!
Fight the hijaaaaacking!
