How does this make sense? Example:
User who leaves site affiliate1.cumdumpbabes.com is going to go back to cumdumpbabes.com
This doesn't accomplish the extended timer of the cookie.
So if we are just talking about tracking, don't do sub domains, just pass information to the website like cumdumpbabes.com/?affiliate=1
This still doesn't accomplish the extended time of what cookies offer so the way to still achieve this is:
1. Use cookies for extended time conversions but not direct conversions
2. Log IPs for extended time conversions (but you miss out on those whose IP changes)
3. Use fingerprinting (not widely available technology yet and requires tons of storage)
4. Use evercookie (not widely available yet)
Best case scenario in TODAY's environment is directly pass the affiliate code for direct conversions + option 1 or 2.
Switching to this will directly increase your conversions number by 10-20% over cookie only tracking.
