    new way of sponsors shave and DRAMA? ... or not?

    on other webmasters board were posted:
    Have you ever checked time period for cookies of pay sites what you promote?
    It's not a secret that ppl can sign up in some days after visiting pay site, but some sponsors set cookies which expire after 1 day or a few days.
    There is a few sponsors who set 1 year cookies or more.
    I think acceptable time period is at least 14 days or more.
    What do you think?

    PS: This FF plugin can help you check cookies.

      What pisses me off also is overwriting type in sales.

      10% loss on S.E traffic if the sponsor does this.

          it's not new, it's been discussed a lot of times. different people, different opinions. i think it's only not "nice" if someone announces that he has 180 day cookies and then silently changes it to 3 days later.

          otherwise it's up to the affiliates to choose if they can live with the sponsor settings.

              There's been discussions about this since 2001 at least...
              I'm just a newbie.

                          Just as bad, if not worse, in my view, are sponsors who only track using cookies - so if a user blocks them, zero credit for the webmaster.

                          Better sponsor programs track using a combination of aff code passed in the urls / pages, user sessions, and cookies.

                          Unfortunately, sponsors often have little incentive to build a robust tracking system, since glitches equal less credit for webmasters and conversely more revenue for the sponsor.

                          While it's helpful, especially for larger affiliates who have the staff / expertise, to track down leaks / cheating, ultimately it's the bottom line that counts - from that one can easily spot the uncaring / cheating sponsors from the good, productive ones.
