Moose on the Loose

Don’t you just love long cookie periods, generally it seems cookie lengths are gradually shortening with well mindless reasoning like “bringing into alignment with other programs within the channel” and so forth. Thankfully there are merchants who value the affiliates a little more and the value of the customer the affiliate sends them.

Lets take Buyagift, one of my favourite programs with good old Grey-ham as their affiliate manager, a top top bloke. The cookie length is a generous 9999 days! So tonight I looked back at last months sales and the click reports on Affiliate Window for Buyagift. There were a number of sales for 2007 which I thought was very good, as I scrolled further down there were also sales from 2006 and even 2005 .. superb I thought … then last of all there was one dated 2004 … 14/12/2004 (19:57:03) .. almost 4 years ago … absolutely Fanriffic!

I scoff at these other menial cookie lengths … 30 days or less .. bah humbug to you all .. but most of all thanks Buyagift, last month alone I am better off by a couple hundred of squid to stick in the cookie jar, and yet again another good reason to promote you more with these little fortune cookies.
