***NOTE***
I am NOT asking how to stuff cookies. The cookies I am placing are completely legitimate. What I AM asking is, is there a way to keep from getting ripped off.
I recently ran into a less-than-scrupulous vendor on CB (not that they are all that rare) who overwrote my cookie in all his followup emails.
It's not an unusual practice, and a lot of vendors do it, but this guy was sneaky. I talked to him about promoting, and I told him when I was going to (JV). I signed up for his newsletter, and I went through his AR, checking that all the links were still mine. They were.
On the day my email campaign went out (about 2 weeks later), however, I signed up again, under a different email address.
Lo and behold, he had changed the links so that they now had his affiliate ID in them.
So, I got to thinking ...
Is there a way to prevent a cookie from being overwritten, even if Clickbank is set up to have a new affiliate ID overwrite an old one?
If there is a way, and someone is able to do it, I'd pay GOOD money for it.
