Of course you have heard about the net neutrality issue, but a recent proposal by the FCC to create a “Do Not Track” list, modeled after the “Do Not Call” list could change marketing online, and perhaps even bring an end to affiliate marketing.
One possibility is a browser setting that would prevent affiliate tracking. That means that the affilate would not get the credit for directing the customer to the sales site, and therefore there would be no way to effectively track affiliate commissions.
Of course it will take at least a year or 2 for this to actually come to pass, if it does affiliate marketers will be put out of business overnight.
You can read more about the proposal here.
Every internet marketer should be paying attention!
