Yep normal.. they are from someone that visit the merchant site using your tracking code and decided to go back later to purchase. Because she or he had your tracking cookie in her/his browser you got the commision. Some tracking cookie can last up to 60 days, it all depends on the agreement.

I had the same shit happen, but with an email submit that I was running on the content network. I have no clue why they would ever go back to the page, yet still getting sales 3 weeks later?

Happens a lot to me too.

I *almost* wish it wouldn't. I hate getting leads I can't track.

The subid (or whatever you want to call it) gets saved. The network knows exactly what subid made the conversion and it should ping-back accordingly. Pretty easy to track, imo.

Not necessarily. I might have a subid showing me which of my landers it came from but not the original traffic source.

That happens alot. some people do come back, and it might say something about the merchant doing a good customer service work.

Yeah happens to me a lot, especially on failed or shit I'm still testing, it is weird.

People tend to bookmark things like diet programs, retail, subscriptions, etc... if they're not ready to buy at first. However, receiving a lead on a cookied zip/email submit that's more than a day old is bizarre.

lmao, I love that cookie picture. It just makes me happy, and has been saved on my computer for future use...

... it's just that nature of the business. Conversions go up and down - welcome to affiliate marketing. In most cases there is really nothing you can do about it.
