EVERY program has at least an unintentional shave. The fact that its the internet is the cause of that. Surfers without cookies on, data that gets dropped in transmission, glitches in stats and so forth. There's simply no way around it.
One post that totally blows me away in this thread was the one that referred to upsells, cross sells and the like giving some sort of additional compensation to the original referrer.
HELLO? Put the crack pipe down. If the original referrer is supposed to continue getting paid out down the line then the ONLY people that should be getting checks are the owners of search engines, link lists and tgps, since that's where the traffic originates. However, I don't see Tommy's Bookmarks or Persian Kitty or even Google sticking their hand out after the fact to collect more money off a signup...

hahaha, I remember making that argument to a newbie a couple years ago...they bitched about not being paid on upsells, etc. and I explained I would be more than happy to pay them a % on those if they would be so kind as to pay a % to the hun, tommy and greenguy, where they got their traffic from...for some reason, they didn't seem to like that idea....
another "unintenional shave" isn't so much a shave as a sale being credited to someone else: if you send a surfer to a site that he's already visited and he signs up, his signup cookie would still be credited to the original sender and even though he came from your site, he would be credited to another affiliate.
