Key words are USED TO, LONG AGO, and PROCESSOR WENT BELLY UP. It's a different game now.
Just in the past 1 - 2 years, the numbers on pay sites have changed on a MASSIVE level. Whatever numbers you got several years back don't apply anymore. If it was 10% back then, you will be lucky if it's 0.01% today.
Now also imagine if you would have not put all your eggs into that one processor basket. You may still be in business.

The cookie is for bookmarks. Even NATS programs put a code on their index page for all type in traffic. It's a code given to them from TMM to assign the type-in. Affiliates don't get credit on type-ins on a lot of programs, especially NATS based programs.
Whatever has happened in the last decade is OVER. Everything has changed. People are not even bookmarking like they used to.
As an affiliate, I see where you are coming from (though I never expect type-in sales as an affiliate), but these days I don't think it's enough of an amount to drop a program over. Whatever numbers you had a long time ago are nowhere even close to the same today. I'm sure any site owner will back me up on that one. I had sites 10 years ago too and I'd suck dicks for those kinds of numbers again, but it ain't gonna happen. From bookmarks to sales to rebills to traffic in general... it's a different game.
