Default Is Amazon Cookie still on 24 hours long?

Hi Folks

I signed up a couple of years ago to Amazon, back then it was 24 hour cookie which is pretty tight, I can't seem to find the onfo on whether this has changed. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Phil

NO OPT IN REQUIRED: Check the photo on this page!! p.s This was going to sell for $47, now it is free and you can even give it away as your own opt-in incentive.

Hi Phil,

Yes, 24 hours....It is tight compared to other affiliate programs. Yet, I still find good success with it.

Do they still use this cookie? I heard if you direct the user via your affiliate link to their site that they must make a purchase during that session in order to you to get the commission now...is that true?

Just took this off of Amazon's site:
Quote:
We will pay you advertising fees on Qualifying Purchases in accordance with Section 8 and the Associates Program Advertising Fee Schedule. Subject to the exclusions set forth below, a “Qualifying Purchase” occurs when (a) a customer clicks through a Special Link on your site to the Amazon Site; (b) during a single Session that customer either (i) adds a Product to his or her shopping cart and places the order for that Product no later than 89 days following the customer’s initial click-through, (ii) purchases a Product via our 1-Click feature, or (iii) streams or downloads a Product from the Amazon Site if the Product is a Digital Product; and (c) the Product is shipped to or streamed or downloaded by, and paid for by, the customer.

A “Session” begins when a customer clicks through a Special Link on your site to the Amazon Site and ends upon the first to occur of the following: (x) 24 hours elapses from the customer’s initial click-through; (y) the customer places an order for a Product that is not a Digital Product; or (z) the customer follows a link to the Amazon Site that is formatted with an Associate’s tag that is not assigned to you.

A “Digital Product” is a Product sold under the name “Amazon MP3,” “Amazon Shorts,” “eDocs,” “Amazon Instant Video,” “Amazon Software Downloads,” “Game Downloads,” and “Kindle Books,” “Kindle Newspapers,” “Kindle Blogs,” “Kindle Newsfeeds,” or “Kindle Magazines.”

Qualifying Purchases exclude, and we will not pay advertising fees on any of, the following:

any Product that, after expiration of the applicable Session, is added to a customer’s Shopping Cart, is purchased by a customer via our 1-Click feature, or is streamed or downloaded by a customer, even if the customer previously followed a Special Link from your site to the Amazon Site;
any Product purchase that is not correctly tracked or reported because the links from your site to the Amazon Site are not properly formatted;
any Product purchased through a Special Link by you or on your behalf, including Products you purchase through Special Links for yourself, friends, relatives, or associates (e.g., personal orders, orders for your own use, and orders placed by you for or on behalf of any other person or entity);
any Product purchased for resale or commercial use of any kind;
any Product purchased after termination of this Operating Agreement;
any Product order that is canceled or returned; and
any Product purchased by a customer who is referred to the Amazon Site through any of the following:
a Prohibited Paid Search Placement; or
a link to the Amazon Site, including a Redirecting Link, that is generated or displayed on a Search Engine in response to a general Internet search query or keyword (i.e., in natural, free, organic, or unpaid search results), whether those links appear through your submission of data to that site or otherwise.
I hope that helps.

Ok, just trying to make sure....definitely better than leading them there and them make a sale during that same session.

As long as the user doesn't CLEAR his cookies, 24 hours is still the policy.

If they happen to browse from the product you linked them to, to say a new 3D TV and buy it, do you get a commision for that sale since the cookie is still active?

You are paid commission on all eligible purchases made in each session, even if they don't buy the product you originally linked to. It's not even necessary to link to any specific product to get a commission on the order.

The cookie is still 24 hours.

I use Amazon a lot on one of my hobby blogs and it works wonders for picking up additional sales because of the power of Amazon and recommendations in their platform.

I have many people that have bought some of the weirdest stuff. The trick is to get people onto the site and let Amazon do the rest.

(I once had someone buy a couple cans of flavored lube haha!)
