Are Your Affiliate Sales Going Untracked?

Are Your Affiliate Sales Going Untracked?

Many affiliate programs use cookies to track your affiliate sales. This is a good method of tracking but this system has a few flaws in it.

Here are a few things you should be aware of:

1 .If a person buys from you and has cookies turned off that sale will go untracked and you will not get paid for that sale.

There is a solution to that problem. Some merchants have it setup so you cannot access some of their WebPages unless cookies are turned on.

Just to give you one example Topicia is one such company. A webpage pops up stating that you cannot access this webpage unless cookies are turned on.

2. The area on your computer where cookies are stored can fill up so that others won't be stored.

The so-called professionals claim that not more than 5% of cookies are lost in these ways

Make sure you have your cookies on your computer turned on. And remember what comes around goes around.
