Affiliate Marketing Blog from Kandevil

I along with some other affiliates have a problem with some affliates dropping cookies by loading pages, when customer a just looking for a code and they don’t even have that code. Some of it comes down to the fact that they are taking your customer away from you if they were originally via your affiliate link, but the loading of their site has overwritten your cookie.

Reduce Discount Codes Problems

This all stems from this discount codes thead at affiliates4u.com and then Kieron talking about it on his blog where I originally posted these comments, my idea was:

My solution to help some of this, from an affiliates perspective, is for merchants to remove the promotion/code/offer box in the basket when an affiliate asks for it not to be there via their links.

This way if a customer gets to the basket they aren’t going to go off looking for a code.

We can get merchants to remove their phone number when going via affiliate links, why not via specific affiliate links, then it is up to the affiliate to opt out. It might solve a lot of the last referrer problems.

Also if a merchant has a lot of affiliates asking for this, they might question why and be forced to learn more about this subject.
