This is a great stuff. Will it be considered as a black hat? Wonder will Google take action on this or not.

Hey Jim,

Well when you drop the affiliate cookie then it comes from the affiliate URL, when the cookie is dropped then their stats record a click through.

If you started off a brand new site and did this from the very start then it wouldn’t be a massive deal because they wouldn’t already have numbers for your click through rate. However if usually you only get 50 people a day clicking on an affiliate banner but then you start to cookie drop and that number goes up to say 500, then they are going to wonder why it has gone up so quickly.

So basically each time you drop a cookie it is the equivalent of one of your users clicking the link and going through to the merchant page. If its really high then they are going to look into why, and then if they realise you are dropping cookies in the background then you’ll get busted.

“I just want to add that you should be careful doing this, obviously if your affiliate see’s that you are generating a 100% clickthrough rate then they are going to start asking questions and can even ban you from the program.”

How do they know the click through that I am getting on my site?

So I buy traffic…from google say…then they get the cookie dropped on their PC when they visit my site…How does the affiliate program know that every visitor is getting that cookie? I mean I could have a 5000 people visiting the page and only 1000 people clicking the link???

If you could help clarify what information the cookie contains that would be great.

Thanks, Jim

Fxgator:

I haven’t tried this so i don’t know if it works or not…

Normal cookie drop does this…

Forum -> your server -> drops cookie

You could try…

Forum -> Obfuscated Server -> (301 redirects to) your server -> drops cookie

That way you have put an extra server in the way which might show up as the referring site?

Try it and let me know if it works.
