I wonder how the mechanism really works. Suppose someone goes to tirerack.com and browses around a bit. Later they go to PB and click the banner and buy. Does PB get a commission for displaying the ad that was clicked? Maybe it only goes to PB if the user hasn't already previously visited TR and gotten a TR cookie on their machine, or something like that. ; if so, that could eliminate almost all commissions. Long ago I signed up for a TR affiliate ad on my web site since I had a slow stead amount of Boxster traffic, and I did think the whole thing was too opaque to have much trust in. Saw no results, canceled it because I realized I was just cluttering up my site and giving TR free ad display space.
