From Todd….If more than one affiliate is involved driving traffic to a Clickbank merchant’s site, who gets credit?

The first? The last? The affiliates in the middle are just out of luck?

Clickbank cookies last for 60 days. Does this mean the visitor can come back anytime within 60 days and you still get the credit, right?”

Right… or almost right.

Even if your visitor returns to the merchants site through a bookmark or search engine within 60 days, you would still get credit. However, that’s UNLESS they click on another Clickbank affiliate’s link in the meantime… because it’s the last affiliate clicked that gets the credit.

The links below are used to demonstrate how that works in the video.

A cookie is a small harmless text file that is attached to your hard drive when you browse certain web sites.

The cookie contains information used to identify you as a specific user, such as your user ID, password and user preferences that makes future visits to the website more interactive.

Cookies also contain affiliate identification to credit the right affiliate with the referal. In some cases, merchants credit the first affiliate to refer a customer to their site with the sale, and in other cases they credit the last affiliate.
