Overwriting affiliate cookies - Good, Bad, Don't care?
Program X runs affiliate revshare with 30-day cookie.
Sunday, 2 Jan: Affiliate A sends surfer 1 to program X,surfer surfs tour, likes but only bookmarks, then leaves
Thursday, 6 Jan: Affiliate B sends surfer 1 to program X, sees tour remembers it well, leaves
Saturday 29 Jan: Surfer 1 gets no nookie that night and needs to blow load, so comes back to tour of Program X through his bookmark and signs up.
If affiliate programs simply set cookie if refid is present in the URL, then aff B wins. If programs only set cookie if no valid cookie is present, aff A wins.
Which affiliate do you say should get the revshare and why?
