SwirlsGirl,
I just noticed something.
1. Surfer clicks this link.
http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clic...=1887005&BAN=0 (not my affiliate code, one I grabbed from google) but decides not to buy just then.
2. Surfer comes back an hour later and types in your domain saraswirls.com (or visits from a search engine, etc)
http://saraswirls.com/ then the surfer clicks "Join" and gets taken to
http://saraswirls.com/join.html where the following payment options appear (in order)
1. Verotel
2. Zombaio
3. CCbill
4. Alternate payments.
Now if the surfer joins from #1 or #2, does the affiliate with the ccbill cookie set get any credit for that join (I don't believe so because doesn't it first have to go through the ccbill cascade)?
A lot of savvy affiliates won't promote a program that doesn't give credit for this scenario, if not. This is because a certain percentage of conversions are lost. If the answer is no you might want to consider fixing it in some way such as by adding a special cookie which will only present CCbill as the primary processor if that cookie is set. It would make your program more affiliate friendly and your affiliates convert better (Assuming they are not getting credit in the scenario detailed above) and they then might push you more sales. Otherwise it's sort of like not having any ccbill cookie at all as far as type-ins go.
Not trying to start anything just pointing it out because I don't think many sponsors realize it.
Perhaps I overlook something as well and your affiliates are actually getting credit for this. Please let me know if you don't get what I'm saying and I'll try to explain it better.
