I've actually never bought anything online, except my anti-virus software. I was posing the thought of what other people might be doing and what I might do if I bought something. I think there's something to be said about building a loyalty with your customers. Some sites are there merely to make money from affiliate sales.

Dick Tue, 06 May 2008 02:41:38 +0000 http://www.ozwebhub.com/blog/?p=235#comment-180 Why do you cut off the refer id when you buy something but yet you don't want people cutting of YOUR referral links and you are telling your readers how to protect their referral links. It's not like you are normally going to get a better price if you do that. The better affiliate programs will cookie the refer id if there isn't one already cookied and save it for some time so even if you come back some time later the affiliate still gets his cut anyway. Some of the nasty programs deliberately give the visitor the better marketing schtick if you come in without a refer id, and they display the grade B marketing schtick when there is an affiliate link and they don't cookie anything. This is their attempt to cheat their affiliates out of the commission. What have you got against a commision? Give the poor blighter his commission. He is after all the one who told you about the product.
