Is This an Affiliate Program that Guarantees You DON'T Get Paid?

So, I'm looking around on ClickBank - checking some pitch pages... almost all of them have squeezes either as a popover or inline...

...doesn't that mean the ONLY way you'd get an affiliate sale is if the buyer purchases off of the pitch page right then?--

In other words, if they get into the email capture and start receiving an autoresponder string of messages, doesn't that pretty much guarantee that when they click thru the email message or download they get for signing onto the autoresponder that you are cut out of getting a commission??

Thanks!
David

I think it's not this way. Clickbank sets a cookie to guarantee that the affiliate will actually get paid. I'm not sure, but I think that this cookie lasts for at least 30 days. So the only way you can lose your commission is if the customer deletes the cookie.

And then they sell a different product to the backend. Lots of scams out there.

  @ Alexa - thank you for your very detailed and informative reply! I suppose I should have chosen my words more carefully when I said "almost all" pitch pages have an autoresponder squeeze - I was looking in a particular niche and of the perhaps 7-8 I looked at in actuality they all did indeed have a squeeze, but I'm sure there must be plenty in other niches without a squeeze.
  
  Moreover, you have touched on a number of issues I wish we could discuss more - not the least of which is:
  
  >>>From the affiliate's perspective, it's far better to have the opt-in on the affiliate's pre-sell page, of course. And for the affiliate to follow-up his own leads. This maximises, rather than minimises, the affiliate's chances of earning a commission on an eventual sale.<<<
  
  I need to re-read your email several times because there are really a few gems in there, and I'm sure I have questions....
  
  Thank again for your very thoughtful and insightful reply.
  
  Best,
  David
  
  Thanks

David you should opt-in and see how the seller does it. Follow-ups from honest sellers can increase your commissions, not cut you out.

  Thanks Andrew - but how is that possible when the link in the seller's email will not be my affiliate link??
