Unless I have misunderstood, this 'series' has made claims that some sponsors do not honor affiliate code links depending on what domains the links are on (eg. a direct SERP).
Much of your 'seo' discussion has been based on protecting oneself from getting cut out of the SE loop by these sponsors.
Can you offer some qualitative perspective on how many sponsors we are talking about here?
What percentage of sponsors ignore affiliate code links in the way that you have suggested?
Are we talking 50/50?
Or is this a rare exception?
For the amount of discussion (3 parts over several days), one could get the impression that this is a huge problem and, unless one protects their site, they may lose lots of traffic they have built through SEO to all these sponsors.
I have never heard of a sponsor not counting a properly formed affiliate link.
I have always manually checked that my links get counted in my stats and I don't use sponsors which don't disclose real-time detailed stats.
Who are all these sponsors you refer to (which merit this concern)?
Thanks
