What is Cookie Stuffing

( \! N3 x' N( ^6 h" j  `The process of cookie stuffing exists because affiliate networks use a cookie to track sales.In the simplest of terms,imagine that your affiliate network gave you a link.When people click on that link and buy a product,you get paid a commision.

如果翻譯過來可能對你找人效果更好，我估計很多人看的不明不白

假如模擬的cookies散佈到了一些人的計算機中，就算這些人買了產品，但是他之前卻沒有訪問產品服務器的記錄，後來的cookies是怎麼來的，這個確實是有點問題

不同的affiliate network的cookie的有效期是不一樣的
比如amazon的cookie為24小時。而ebay的cookie的有效期為7天，還有很多的affiliate networks的有效期更長
拿ebay來說，如果有人點了你的鏈接，7天之內購買了商品，那還算你的
cookie stuff是強制在瀏覽者電腦裡留下cookie，也相當於別人點了你的鏈接。這就是cookie stuffing的魅力所在。當然這樣的做法屬於blackhat的做法了。很多聯盟會查referer，做的不好就有可能K號

孩子,搞正規吧.....

還是存在封號的可能，不過從另外一個角度還是可以的！

有的聯盟估計不管這些,反正SALE是真實的,比用HK做強多了吧.....
