Some of you have noticed a gradual loss in revenue. I don't think cb is at fault.

It is possible that browsers disabling third party cookies is the main cause. If you use the embed cam tool, you know that it plants a 3rd party cookie so that when the visitor clicks on it you get credit for bringing a new user to the system. With browsers such as Firefox or Safari third party cookies are blocked by default.

This comes as a problem in addition to the raising number of ad blocking tools. The immediate effect is a loss in counted traffic followed by less signups, and finally less $$ overtime.

Other affiliate programs which don't use third party cookies aren't affected. Most of them plant a cookie after the user clicks on the promo tool. CB popups wouldn't be affected by the cookie restriction either.

I may be wrong but I believe this is a fair assumption.

One partial fix to this would be to change the clickthrough link of the embed cam tool to include the affiliate cookie. Any thoughts?
