General question, selecting merchant

    Hi guys, I am new to affiliate marketing and need some advice on choosing a merchant for my page. One merchant I started using from shareasale.com seems to have a high number of reversals. I have made a few sales already with some reversed. The affiliate manager said that 1 in 5 are duplicates (sent by 2 affiliates) and are reversed. Now, this particular merchant is the better known merchant carrying the products I need. They pay 15% with a 30 day cookie and are new to shareasale.com.

    The other merchant I can use is from cj and has a 10% commission and 10 day cookie. (I don't think a 10 day cookie is long enough, do you?).

    Should I give the original merchant more time to see how many reversals actually occur or should I switch to the other merchant with the shorter referral period?

    My page gets decent traffic that is very targetted so I really would like to monetize on it.

    Thoughts?
