so if they read 5 reviews and buy on the 5th affiliate site, who gets the commission? thanks!

The last person would get the sale because their cookie would replace any others

This is exactly why I include a "bookmark us" script early in the intro page of my sites. So if they're iffy, then hopefully, they'll return to the sales page via my bookmarked site.

just to clarify the affiliate cookie is only put on the visitors computer if they click through on the affiliate link through to the merchant .. even if they dont buy they still have the cookie in case they go back to the merchant within (usually) 60 days

unless a site engages in cookie stuffing - not encouraged, def black hat!

so Jason... if there are 5 cookies because they did research on the same product and read 5 affiliate reviews, the affiliate link with the most current timestamped cookie gets the commission?

thanks! :)
