A question about ordering through SEOClerks affiliate links

Let's say you find a really good SEOClerks service advertised on someone's blog and it's linking to SEOClerks and you click through to place the order. Assuming you are already an SEOClerks member, does your original referrer get the credit for that sale or does the person who posted the new link (that you clicked on to get to that page) get the credit for the sale and earn commission?

If someone who already is a member and logged in visits and orders via your affiliate link, it will not be any benefit to you, that member is already signed up and maybe affiliated with someone else who would get their affiliate commission.

@Beverly - I know you're just asking this on the behalf of other Readers who may not know this- but did you mean to say that EACH potential Member who Clicked Aff. Link would be NEW Members?

@Sean101 - Perhaps Beverly meant this (which is actually a really good Question)

To re-phrase Beverly's Question:

Let's says a NEW MEMBER Clicks on Affiliate Link #1 on a Facebook Page which brings that User to a Service for Youtube Views, but WITHIN that Service that same User Clicks on an Affiliate Signup Banner placed there by the Service Provider such as this:

Affiliate Link #2

WHO GETS THE AFFILIATE??
CLICK #1 or CLICK #2

I remember asking @jordan the same question long ago. Perhaps this might be a Question for him. Jordan?

Ah, I see, I can remember this question being asked somewhere a while ago too, I cant for certain remember the answer, but I think it is the most recent affiliate id attached to the sign up. So if I visit via Affiliate Link #1 but don't sign up yet, click on a different link with a different ID (Affiliate Link #2) then sign up, im sure I would be an affiliate under the account of Affiliate Link #2.

My biggest concern is this; working hard to recruit affiliates and then having those people taken by someone else who randomly posted an affiliate link that got clicked on by one of my affiliates. And, possibly this is something which would be a concern to other members. This question is inspired by this next scenario.

Some companies set a cookie that only lasts so long (such as one day/week/year) and credit for the most recent sale goes to the person who's link you clicked on last, not the person who referred you to the site. From what I remember, Amazon is/was this way, so that basically if you could get someone to click on your Amazon link last, then the commission for their next purchase(s) (for how many ever hours/days the cookie is on the computer) will go to you. That person becomes your referral/customer and money goes to you. But, when they click on another Amazon referral link on someone else's website (or the cookie is cleared on computer), then the commission from sale goes to someone else who posted that link.

Just trying to clarify that once you recruit an affiliate, that person is permanently in your downline of affiliates and commissions for purchases made by that person come to you (the person who referred them), no matter if they click on anyone else's SEOClerks referral link.

ah, so your wanting to know if an affiliate you already have under you orders a service after visiting via someone else's link / ID..

That affiliate is yours and you get all the commissions from them, doesn't matter if they keep visiting SEO Clerks through other Affiliate Links after they've already signed up under you, that is your affiliate(s).

This is very good good to know and I'm sure good incentive for SEOClerks members to get affiliates, knowing they will be safe from losing commissions, even if that person clicks on another affiliate's links later.
