Amazon sets cookies like clickbank?

    Affiliate marketers refer leads to amazon market place like they do to clickbank vendors' sites. Whereas clickbank sets affiliate cookies on leads' hard disks expiring 60 days after first visit, I heard Amazon doesn't do it (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=616550)

    Which version of this is right?

    24 hours if the cookie gets set at all. Totally different from Clickbank.

    24h cookie is the greatest Amazon affiliate program problem. You can multiply your sales with With 30 day cookie. 24hours cookie is really awful.

    They're working on this at the moment, anyways if you think about it, if you have a respectable website such as BigOven.com that sells kitchen stuff, then you're most likely to have loads of returning customers, hence you will still make a sale under you affiliate ID no matter what.

    That's the main idea to have a single quality website with dozens of returning customers. Amazon is nothing like clickbank...

    I don't think amazon would extend the period of affiliate cookies,
    since they even closed the account for north America this year.
