A first-time seller recently emailed me and asked if she had a pop up on her site, would her affiliates lose out on their commissions if the customers bought through a link in her follow-up campaign.

I assured her that the affiliate network you’re using (ClickBank, ShareASale, etc.) gives each affiliate their own link to use and when a visitor clicks on that link, the network sets a cookie on that visitor’s computer. As long as that visitor buys within a certain period of time, (in her case, 60 days since she sells her ebook through ClickBank) the network will know which affiliate gets the credit for the sale.

Do you have a question for an affiliate? Contact me!
