There are lots of opinions online about the efficacy and ethics of cookie stuffing. There are lots of voices out there that will shame you to always play by the rules, and to never do anything that might violate someone’s TOS. I also see very large advertisers, ecommerce sites and ad networks who routinely do all sorts of things – they stuff cookies, they track you with cookies, they do sneaky redirects, they cloak content. As long as these big companies make money for their partner programs, all is well. It is usually the ‘little guy’ that gets slapped for doing things like cookie stuffing.
So there is a real hypocrisy that exists in the internet marketing world about this subject, and there will be no end to the debate. But frankly, I don’t really care. If a tool works for you – use it. My Cookie Stuffr plugin for Wordpress allows you to cookie visitors in the background before they click your links. This allows you to put plain HTML links on your pages for better click through rates.
My recommendation is to only use this plugin for 1 or 2 links per page – although you can use it for as many as you like. Remember, you are responsible for your use of this tool – I’m not responsible if you end up getting banned by your program.
Cookie Stuffr is very simple to use – just upload, activate and enter your affiliate links for each page or post where you would like the cookie set. It’s simple and effective. I’ve priced the plugin at only $17, so it’s easy to buy – use it on as many domains as you own.
