Opt-in forms on Clickbank pages

I'm just wondering what happens when someone goes to my clickbank page and instead of buying a product from me they sign up for a free newsletter or something. If they eventually buy the product does the commission still go to me?

    Your affiliate cookie will be set on the visitor's customer.

    Unless the publisher overrides this with his own affiliate
    link in the newsletter or other follow ups you should get commission.

      Harve--quickie. Say I drive a visitor to a CB product page I am promoting. They check out the page, decide not to buy, click to leave and one of those "Wait a minute, I'll give you a $20 bonus..." automated Intellichat or VirtualAgent thingies pops up for them. Now, if the visitor clicks to chat and ends up buying with the discount, the affiliate gets no commission. Is that generally correct?

      I mean there is good and bad in that. The publisher makes more money--I know. But the affiliate spent money, time and effort on getting the visitor there in the first place, so they kind of take it up the &$*@ on the deal.

        I think the problem arises if your pop-up (or any email
        follow-up) is for a product which is not your own i.e you
        are an affiliate.

        If the product is your own then I (personally) would let the
        affiliate get the credit.

        In either case one might argue that the customer failed to
        purchase the main product so the vendor is entitled to
        pursue him by other means.

        The converse argument is that, as you say, it's due to the
        affiliate that the customer reached the site.

        I'm sure others will chime in with their thoughts.
