Does the affiliate program track sales and orders using a single “session cookie” or 10-year cookies?
Explanation: If you promote Clickbank products you get a commission at the time of sale, but as I read the website it appears they don’t set cookies, so if someone buys 7 months later you don’t get a commission. A lot of affiliate and associate programs use what are called “session cookies” which means you only get paid if the person buys within 24 hours of clicking on your link. Worse than that, with some programs you only get paid if they order via your link immediately when they go to the website. What this means to you is, you’ve spent all this time, energy, effort, trouble, cost and expense promoting to search engines, building a link, getting traffic, opt-ins and clicks and in the end you’re left screwed with the short end of the stick. What kind of a feeling is that? That’s why with MoreProgress.com we set 10-year cookies. So, we can track sales literally up to 10 years from the time the person clicks on your associate link, limited of course by the technical aspects of cookies.
