Vigilant merchants and good network quality departments. Speaking as someone who's worked on the merchant end of some CJ merchants before, cookie stuffing is REALLY easy to spot. If you start sending a a good amount of non-converting links, you will be picked up on, as merchants care about their public EPC. I don't care if you think you can hide it, you'll be out. In CJ, many merchants even kick out affiliates who send legitimate traffic that doesn't convert well, since it brings their public stats down, making the program less attractive.
Oh yeah, and watch out for getting sued.
Screw you man dont steal people fucking comission dont be a scum bag if you cookie stuff it with ppc that's not too bad but you would be cheating advertisers which is not as bad as talking someone sale just like that.

mike90: 1) Grammar - writing with a total lack of punctuation, an authority source does not make.
1a) Sentences written out like scripted lines for Yoda, as the one above, are also bad.
2) Cookie stuffing isn't cheating anyone out of anything. It's exploiting a loophole in a system that other people are generally too stupid to use themselves.
2a) There's nothing stopping the next person installing some scripts to put their cookies in over your stuffed one... other than their own stupidity.
3) If networks bothered to use sessional ID or IP address tracking ALONG with cookie tracking, stuffing cookies would be pretty fucking pointless.

you must realize that all cookie stuffing isnt stealing. there are so many variables that impact conversion rates, and for the fact that some browsers and software erase cookies...i simply want to make sure i am monetizing the money i spend the best way i can. if your cookie isnt set...you're outta luck. you've spent money, no chance of commission. more networks should go to server side cookie simply because client side are so volitile.
some cookie overwrite the last one, others dont. but to simply say that all cookie stuffing is stealing, is techinically incorrect.
