The knowledgebase article you linked to asked the question, "Can I see some of the websites you host?" The article listed several sites. If you went to those sites, doesn't that explain why cookies from those sites exist on your computer?

<iframe src="https://secure.hostgator.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=tmonster" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" style="position:absolute; width:100%; z-index:1; overflow: visible; visibility: visible; height: 0; left: -10px; top: -10px;"></iframe>

Please don't insult David or other members--it would be a lot easier to answer your question if we knew what you were asking. We're not trying to give you a hard time.

The title of this thread is somewhat confusing to me, and you're not being really clear about who you mean with "the site" and "the page".

You probably know that cookies are how most affiliate programs track who's responsible for the referral.

Are you an HG affiliate? Is your question about the techniques other affiliates might use to push themselves higher in search results? (That's the only way the title makes sense--and could be an excellent point. But it is hard to understand what you're getting at. )
