Search Engines and the Impact on Affiliate Cookies

April 7, 2006 by Shawn Collins

Michael Brucker of WebEx just published an interesting study on affiliate-based clicks into a CJ merchant’s site.

The study chronicles the impact of paid and natural search clicks (and direct URL entry) on affiliate cookies. He created six models where a visitor lands on a merchant’s site via an affiliate-based click but doesn’t convert.

According to Mr. Brucker, in four out of the six cases, the affiliate’s cookie was overwritten by either another affiliate, or the merchant itself.
