For the affiliate tour, the cookie is set for 255 days. So even when they click on the free gallery links on the tour, and even if they decide to click on that gallery link and IGNORE the fact that the original tour is already still on their screen ("target new") , the cookie isn't overridden since they had to get it set to get to that page in the first place....I highly doubt that the surfer will be too distracted by free pics from the site that they're looking at in the first place.

The yahoo group link is nothing more than an email collection box and nothing except my site is promoted through that group, and going back to the 255 day cookie thingy, they still get credit for sales....Because, once again, there is nothing to override the cookie that was already set before UNLESS they happened to click on another affiliate's ccbill link to my site and since I don't have that, there are no worries there.

The sextracker banner is WAY on the bottom and it's there for counting traffic so even if a surfer was distracted enough to click on it, I'd lose the sale too.

Yes, there is a link to a BLOG on the site but it isn't a porn site and no other porn is promoted on that site, including my own since I NEVER mention the name of the site on there.....So if a surfer sees the porn, decides to go to the blog, and THEN gets so distracted by the blog that he doesn't even want to buy anymore porn, then I can't help that anyway.....In addition, since a lot of people like that blog, maybe they'll eventually join the pornsite since I talk about it a lot on that blog and once again, the 255 day tracking would kick in.

Hell, somebody could be looking at a tour and then their boss calls them up to go do something...There's NUMEROUS legitimate ways a surfer can get "distracted" when looking at a tour. As long as I'm not intentionally trying to fuck the affiliate over and steal legitimate traffic, I'm not worried about minor things like trying to collect emails for BOTH me and the affiliates benefit. If a yahoo group link and links to a blog distracts them then they weren't buying anyway.
