Can anyone tell me how erferal ads work?
Actually what i want to know is : How the Company (like Google/Adsense has started referal 2.0 and Commissionjunction , Linkshare etc) tracks whether there is actually a sale or not.
I know its easy to track the activities of buyer through Cookies but how they track a sale (because its obvious that the seller keeps the buyer info secret. I am sure about it because there are many reputed companies using this system, including Adobe, ReamMedia, Yahoo too is a client of commissionjunction, etc)
Is there any article about the working of this Referal such referal system and how much info is shared by the Advertiser with the Advertising Company.
Thanks
