I went over to see the guys at ValueCommerce Japan today to learn how to hook up an e-commerce site to their banner ad affiliate program. It's really enlightening to see how these technologies work from the back end.
It made me think that the next time I go and buy something at Amazon I might purposefully go to a blog that I like and click through their Amazon link. By doing so my favourite blog author will get the referral fee.
It also made me think about refusing cookies. Sometimes the cookie is completely innocuous and by not accepting it you maybe doing someone out of a referal fee. Food for thought.
