It sounds like a pretty good deal to me, except it is not so great that the user is unaware of it. ONe the one hand,they certainly have the choice of how their computer accepts cookies and it seems that we get cookies on just about every site these days. I guess the downfall is that it places cookies to items the user hasn't seen yet and perhaps the site owner could/would add lots of affiliate links for things that he/she doesn't even mention or that I didn't see on his/her site...then I wouldn't realize that I needed to clear my cookies if I did want someone particular to get credit for my purchase. I have deliberately went to Carrie's links more than once and this might not be something I would appreciate if I found that she did not get credit for the sale due to such a tatic... Hmm...not sure what I think I guess! Thanks for the post! Kim Hey Mike!
