It is entirely your choice to use this technique, but it is VERY RISKY, and I just want to make sure people know this. I also want to clarify that if you plant an affiliate cookie on the visitor’s computer but send them immediately to the affiliated product site, it is not considered “Cookie Stuffing”. “Cookie Stuffing” only applies to the marketer who plants cookies on the visitor’s computer REGARDLESS of whether or not you send them to the merchant’s/product site. In essence, using these techniques with an immediate redirect to the affiliated merchant’s/product site is acceptable practice. Take care now.
