When considering a product to promote another thing to take in to consideration is how long is the affiliate cookie. Preferably you want to choose the affiliate merchant with the longer cookie otherwise you may lose out on commission. Has this happened to any of you before?
I think that is only actually true to a limited extent, far more important is the product that you are selling. For example Amazon has only a 24 hour cookie but lots of people do well with it because it is so easy to get people to buy from them. On the other hand if you are promoting a product that is harder to sell and may require some follow up before people buy a short cookie period could definitely be a problem.
Agreed! Also a lot of the Amazon products are familiar with many people and aren't quite as hard to market
