There is also a movement in the affiliate world that if you click on another website directly or through a google search or whatever and THEN click on a rewards site, the rewards site does not get credit. You have to ONLY click on our link EVER for us to get the credit. They are really starting to crack down.
EVER is ridiculous. I guess they are starting to track by IP address then? Not sure how else they could since cookies can be deleted. Wow. "EVER" just doesn't seem quite right.
