I don't know how your program works, I do know how ours works. I know exactly which site in our system has either brought in the surfer, or has made the sale (depending on if cookies have been turned off or not).

Our system is a little different than the average program. You would have to have to check it out I guess in order to understand.

ROTFLMFAO..................

I have been doing webtracking software for a long long time now. I can say DEFINITIVELY that there is absolutely no way to give credit on every sale to the appropriate webmaster, either the original sender or the next one in the line. I mean you might run a program that decides that when it can't assign a sale to give it to a webmaster, randomly selected or something. But I doubt very much that you are doing it.

I started in this side of the biz back when we paid per click, then when we paid per unique.

The problems in makeing tracking accurate are still there and no software running either client side or server side can remove the inherent problems associated with it from the net.

If you are only tracking cookies, then not all webmasters are getting paid for their sales. If you are going to the ip level when the cookies don't work, then you are getting more accuracy but it still cannot be perfect because of server side caching schemes.

If you are not letting a surfer join because they turned off the cookies, then you would solve the problem, but I have yet to see a program that would turn down a legitimate sale just because it cannot be tracked to an affiliate and the FACT is that there is no software yet developed that can track with 100% accuracy across the net.
