Can someone please tell me why Amazon is so cheap with their cookie retention policy? I want to expand my amazon affiliate links but I am having great trouble getting motivated because they only have one day retention which I believe is really killing my capture rate. I basically feel like I'm giving them a bunch of free advertising and they're giving me little in return. Am I looking at this in the wrong way? Any other affiliates that are give better terms? (I sell mostly books and supplements.)
We dropped them after they started having issues with certain states and their tax policies. There are other book and item sellers out there. Some with better rates.
Barnes and Noble's affiliate program didn't look that great, although certainly better. Any other ideas? Ideally, it would be someone who also handles supplements...
