Now, if the surfer types in the URL for a program (Site B) which doesn't have the cookie in surfer's machine, then the affiliate is fucked. The aff is right on this point, despite what many said said up to the half of the thread.

On the other hand, things are what they are, and I think the OP should contact FYC before making this thread, maybe he could have get help of some sort, maybe he'd have to write a thread saying "FYC is top notch" instead of this dumb thread. I mean, no disrispect to the OP, but I'm quite sure Biggy isn't putting a gun against your head, so you have the option to not promote them and that's it. Or act professional and contact them before hand instead of whining (which I don't think will help you at all)

Whatever, this thread is a massive display of dumbness as a whole

oh, and 50 FWIW
#1 - Actually...
Cookies aren't XS, of course, but NATS linking domains point to the same place.
If your pants are on fire over this issue, change your linking code from http://join.disgraced18.com/track/MTEyOjk0OjIx/ [for example] to
http://join.pornpros.com/track/MTEyOjk0OjIx/

Still links to the same place, and the cookie is magically picked up, should the user a go to the lengths of typing in to try to avoid your linking code...

Now of course, if the surfer is typing in a watermark, chances of him having clicked your link - slim to none.

If this continues to piss you off, then you should be embedding an iframe w/ your tracking code in it anyway, to ensure the cookie was set from the get go.

Of course as well, you could link to NATS in a fashion not dissimilar to CCBill, ie, before your gallery, or whatnot, and have it redirect there, ensuring your cookies are set, too.

You're right, I don't know shit about cookies. I don't have an oven, and I could never get the baking soda ratio right when I ran out of self-raising flour..
