Today, I found an interesting articles about affiliate technology - Is Affiliate Marketing At Death’s Door? - which describes the impart on the affiliate market if the tracking cookies are disabled by the spyware utitlities.

I have to admitted that the bad news descibed in that articles is true because  tracking cookies has been so widely used in the affiliate network to track the sales. I have a communication with CJ about what if the cookies has been disable by Browser, the answer is that the sale will not been tracked correctly, and the consequent resut is that you will not be able to earn the commission in this situation.

But is the affiliate network at death’s door? My answer is not although I know there are a lot of work to do to improve our sale tracking skills. And actually, not all the affiliate network or program use cookies to track the sales, such as Clickbank. But cookies issue will really be a bad news to some other affiliate network leaders such as CJ, Linkshares, which use cookies as the main tracking technology in their affiliate system. But I believe they will find out their solution for it.

I would like to say, no matter what, affiliate market will still be there. Look at the big influence and revenue from affiliate marketing , no one want it to die. Don’t forget that even the Spyware or Microsoft, they all leverage the power of affiliate network to sell their products. Do you want affiliate marketing die and then they die as well?
