Anyway, cookie stuffing. Lots of affiliate programs keep track of who sent a visitor by the use of a cookie. When somebody follows your link and lands on the merchants website a cookie is placed that says "this visitor belongs to the affiliate Paul B". Depending on the terms of the affiliate program if that visitor returns in 1 day, 1 week even 10 months time (like I say depending on the terms) and buys something then the affiliate will still earn a commission. When you think about it in those terms it makes sense for the "dodgy" affiliate to try and get his cookie out to as many potential visitors as possible. The techniques for doing this stuffing range from simply using a misleading link, to doing an auto pop-up to using a tiny iFrame to load the merchants page using your link. As long as the merchants page loads through your affiliate link then the cookie is placed. Obviously as far as the merchant is concerned most of the traffic is untargeted "I didn't ask for this" junk but this doesn't matter to the person doing the cookie stuffing, it's a numbers game and if you have a very popular website it's possible to land your cookie on tens of thousands of visitors a day. Who knows, right now everything I buy on Amazon could be earning a cookie stuffer a commission :) Petra, I love questions like this, if I ever write about anything that sounds alien then please ping me and let me know.

I'm with Natwest, and I think they charge £6 for every conversion. As for Paypal, I try to keep Paypal earnings in dollars, and then use that account to pay for subscriptions and products which are also in dollars. I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that certain banks will give you a dollar account for business. Something which I'm going to be looking into. That said, it's all swings and roundabouts. I invested a lot of Sterling into a managed forex account (which is held in dollars) when the dollar rate was 2 for a Pound. It's made a hefty ROI over the last 2 years, plus the exchange rate is now approx 1.68 which is a double bonus. It's all about spreading your investments. .-= Nick´s last blog ..<a href="http://collagencapsules.org/what-is-collagen/">What is Collagen?</a> =-. Being in the UK, I can sympathise with you on that.
