    Hey All,

    If a user clicks on my affiliate link and gets a cookie set. Then goes to an other affiliate website and clicks their link before finally buying who gets the sale?

    A. Me, because user had my cookie first?

    B. Other Affiliate, last cookie standing gets credit.

    Please let me know.

    Hi:

    It depends on the Affiliate program, but I'd say the "last referer", the one that converts the sale ultimately, will be the one to get the commission and sale.

    You can read the T&C of your particular program and find out for sure, or contact the AM of that program.

    Hope that helps.

    Anyone else have an opinion. I have read various Terms and Conditions and not seen this outlined.

    Also there would be value to the first affiliate who referred the customer.
    Shoppers do not usually buy the first time they see a product so that hard work is getting them "in the door" so to speak.

    Anyone agree?
