Since we use NATS, we are able to see where both of the visits came from.
What is the fair way to handle this situation? Who gets the credit?
I would think the second guy gets the sale, but seems my programming team thinks its fair that the first guy gets it! So, I thought I'd post here to find out what the industry standard might be, if such a thing exists.
Thanks guys.

That will work like shit when I surf websites and click thru on a paysite link of an affiliate
then decided to join your pay site as a affiliate and then do a test sign up and don't
get credit for it.
Then I quit your program rightfully because you actually do not give
me credit for everyone that signs up on my link.
But then I get smart and re-join your program with a tube site with stolen content
that get 200k hits per day and I open a chained popup on my site that opens
every single paysite you have so I can steal all the sign ups for myself even though
they all went to other sites to join because they hated all my pop ups.
