I've never cookie stuffed and nor do I really know how. I was however thinking about loading my affiliates page in a hidden iframe. Since I'm not actually changing the users cookies is there anything wrong with this? For example, I have a site filled with information on some products. Even if they don't click my ad I'd like to get the commission anyways since they took the information from me. Thanks
That is simple cookie stuffing and pretty much the easiest way to get caught. Yes, it is against most TOS (for one not to use frames at all).
Yes, it is cookie stuffing. Other techniques include loading the affiliate page as a 1 x 1 image. I hate websites that do this, and found myself stuck during CPA signups that said I was referred by somebody, when I was not. Of course you cannot 'undo' this, and they only tell you after you submit the application.
of course you can checkout the source of the page and/or delete all your cookies before you submit any applications. simple and straight forward.
Hmm dang alright. My plan isn't to head into cookie stuffing. It's too black hat for me. I thought cookie stuffing was your website actually creating the cookies? Any who I know it's not allowed to be discussed, but I was looking for a basic answer. Thanks
