Ask Greg or Angie (not urgent)

This question is about links.

When a YLF reader clicks on an item on the site - let's say a Weekly Roundup item - I know that the retailer can see that the customer came to them via YLF.

But suppose the YLF reader then buys something else from that retailer instead of the specific item mentioned on YLF. Does YLF still get credit?

I just answered on the original thread, but repeating it here too...

Sorry for the delay. I think in most cases, the answer is yes. If you click on an affiliated link to one item, but purchase something else, the credit might go to YLF.

I say "might" because there are some limitations. Certain items are excluded, for example. And the purchase must happen within a certain time window, which could range from less than a day to several days. I'm also relying on an understanding of all this that is a little dated.

So glad to hear that there is some chance YLF gets credit for "purchases after wandering"! Always happy when my shopping benefits my favorite source of inspiration.
