Cookie Stuffing - What's Acceptable?
I'm kind of new to the whole affiliate marketing thing, and i've read about such things as needing to cloak your affiliate links and also cookie stuffing. I have been trying ClickBank but it always shows ?hoplink=myname when people click it despite testing numerous link cloaking tools. Same with others adding aff=myname
Through more research i found you can force or "stuff" your cookie in your visitors browser so you will be credited with commissions. More research again and i found a "Cookie Stuffing Script" at Cookiestuffers.com
Am i right in thinking i can use this and link from MySite.com > AffiliateProduct.com and avoid all the hoplink/variables and link cloaking but still get credited for the sale?
Most importantly (i Googled extensively and came up with nothing) is this considered acceptable?
The other very troubling thing is twice i have clicked my hoplink, went throught the checkout motion and it said affiliate=[none]
So this sort of thing does seem ideal after my research, all my links are in a "central" place, has full stats, no worries about cloaking links or Google seeing them and thinking "affiliate page" lets penalize it plus i can be assured i'm getting credited for sales.
But of course, i don't want to get in to trouble here i just want the easiest and best solution.
Thanks for any insight.
Mike

Ever notice that people who spend money on WSO, memberships and courses, are always complaining about being broke and not making any money ?
They should have bought ASSETS instead.
