"If an affiliate has say multiple blogs, free sites and other traffic sources and that affiliate send traffic to multiple different CCBill sponsors, there is currently no way to do proper tracking of what sources you sales came from! Not unless you use the horribly awkward kludge of signing up for the same CCBill sponsors multiple times with multiple affiliate id's and using each one for one source of traffic- ie, each individual blog post or banner! "

I have put off commenting about this until I am fully aware of the new systems functionality. I will be addressing this shortly.

From your replies to Scotty.T you are saying that an affiliate gets the credit for a sale even although the surfer hasn't used that particular affiliates link to visit the site???
Either you are not grasping what is being asked or this is very very wrong. You can't have universal ID's overwriting cookies when the site hasn't even been visited.
I'm sure this is not the case but this is what I would like to clarify.

The new system does not necessarily differ from the old system in this regard. In the old system if I click through affiliate B's linking code after affiliate A's and I signup, affiliate B will get credit for the sale.
In the old system both affiliates would have to belong to the same program and that is still the case with the new system.
I have some different examples and if you would like to discuss further I would be happy to. paulk @ ccbill.com i c q 248615940
