The fact that so many here go at this completely blind is mind boggling to me. Sometimes changing a couple of words in your link text can increase joins by 50% or more. Throwing shit up and counting sales is only going to limit your income regardless of who the biller is.
I think I see now. You mean the lack of campaigns. Then you just make another account and merge it if you need that. Though I agree it's a pain and not very convenient.

You could hack something together to do much of the trick without having thousands of subaccounts. Make a special link which goes to intermediate pages on your server then forwards to the real ccbill link. This way you can still track where individual sales are coming from based on the referring url. Even if it's all originally coming from the same page.

Like so:

mydomain.com/track/ccbill/sponsorname/campaign10001.html
mydomain.com/track/ccbill/sponsorname/campaign10002.html
mydomain.com/track/ccbill/sponsorname/campaign10003.html

So 'mydomain.com/track/ccbill/sponsorname/campaign10003.html' will show as the referring url in your CCBill stats when you make a sale. You would also have access to your outgoing hits this way. Though a drawback is the multiple forwarding isn't efficient and is slower. IT would still be easier if CCBill provided something.
