I HAVE definitely seen a difference with it.
You have to realize that if we're talking about microniches the odds of someone else's cookie replacing yours is considerably smaller.
In Xpromote's case I'd prefer to switch to the CCbill program, if they will offer it. I'm hesitant to pull links but I will switch to a competitor for future promotion over this. Why wouldn't I? We could easily be talking 30% of sales. Even 10% would be noticeable. I won't say which sponsor it is but one that I send to like this typically gets $1000 - $1500 in sales per month from me. 30% of $1,500 is $450 per month just because you switched the default processor.  |
I *think* I understand what you are trying to say.
You're not talking 30% in sales. Not even 10%. What you have is a very small percent (probably less than 1%) who would
A) still have to have your cookie,
B) actually return via a type-in, and
C) He would have to return before the cookie expired.
Even with a micro niche site the odds are not in your favor. You have to line up three things in order to get that sale. Not an easy task. Possible? Of course, but odds are against you on this I believe. It's probably not worth pulling links over if you're already making money with them.
Other things to consider: Maybe they rotate the biller for their internal traffic. Maybe they overwrite your cookie anyway should you have everything line up for a type-in sale. Maybe the percent is so small and the odds are so slim, that it's not worth worrying about.
