Sadly even this is not foolproof, though it's fairly solid.
I recently discovered that a program I've been sending tiny amounts of traffic to for like, six years, somehow and somewhen managed to silently change its payment terms on CCbill from 50% and perpetual rebills to 20% and no rebills ever.
And as others have commented, actually getting a sale to process through CCbill these days can feel like pulling a wisdom tooth out of your own head with a string and a rock. Not that it's a whole lot better anywhere else, to be honest.
Choker's original point about the difficulty of chasing affiliate payments these days is extremely well taken -- it's amazing how many programs seem to have unspecified technical difficulties and delays that hold up your check until you hassle them a few times. I'm putting a lot more effort into selling my traffic directly via
JuicyAds and the like. If programs want to be pissants about paying affiliates for sales, they can just fuckin' buy the traffic and it be their problem how to convert it.
What's funny is that a ton of the traffic winds up getting bought by the assholes who have the worst reputations for dealing with affiliates -- I'm always selling ad slots for cams and dating sites I wouldn't send affiliate traffic to on a dare. Apparently that whole "we don't need affiliates, we can generate traffic in house" thing isn't working out as good as people thought.
