If you spend much time on the internet, it’s only a matter of time before you will find out that some internet marketers are big into affiliate links.

This means that they have registered to be a member of a programme where they get rewarded if you click through their link to purchase a programme.

This is a great strategy to grow your business, however I recommend that you always advise someone if you are referring them through your affiliate link - I know I don’t always appreciate having no option.

As internet marketing is becoming more and more sophisticated affiliate marketeers cloak their affiliate links with a varies of tools – for example using SnipURL that I comment on here.

What happens with an affiliate link is that there is a “cookie” that is activiated which means that even if you purchase from that website in the future, you have been linked to the person who directed you there in the first place.

A way around this if you do not want to give the person referring you the recognition of coming through them is to clear your “cookies” from your system and then sign up direct for the programme or product.

How you do this is going to Internet Explorer, click on tools, then click on internet options. You will see a button saying delete cookies. Click OK and then click OK to exit.

And voila the “cookies” will have been gobbled up!

Certainly a practice worth undertkaking from time to time.
