@PPP: What you are saying is, if you visit carbonpoker.com directly, the affiliate id is reset to blank? If so, that's absolutely ridiculous from them imo. Carbon is then an exception here, rather than the rule.
Your other point about Google earning money by being the last affiliate, however, is complete and utter crap to put it bluntly. Google is not an affiliate and will never include affiliate links in its search results. The old cookie stands. Google will therefore never get paid for the 'conversion' if you could call it that, but the affiliate whose cookie is stored will.
The only last-cookie-counts site that I know of is TowerGaming. If you visit using my link, then leave, then come back, my cookie is still there. If you then visit via a different site, then their cookie is dropped. If the player signs up, then that affiliate will get paid, not me. That is 100% fair imo, since they converted, not me.
