How many people who are paranoid about cookies and search history do you think are going to fucking BOOKMARK the pornsites they are so worried about people finding?
Companies are just going to have to find a new way to track affiliate links. Server sside cookies, IP tracking, who knows. The odds of someone changing their IP have got to be about around the odds of someone clearing their cookies. Hell, it might even be BETTER in the favor of affiliates. If we went this route, isn't it feasible that we could fight the evil Zango in rewriting cookies and stealing sales too? I'm no expert on Zango, so I might be off on that. maybe someone more savvy in that department can shed some light. All I'm saying is people are jumping the gun a little quick on the doomsday prophecies with this one. There's plenty worse things to worry about.
At least this is a rectifiable problem. It's something the industry CAN do something about. it's not like rampant piracy and illegal tubes which are out of our control.
