If you don?t trust a program, don?t send any traffic to it
This is a business, look at the results that you get with various programs and draw your conclusions from them. If you have a sponsor that is sending you checks for rebills from sales that were sent 2 years ago, don?t forget that. There are many programs out there that have excellent reputations for taking care of their referrers?it?s a symbiosis; I know some affiliates that are very well off of from promoting certain programs.
In this close-knit industry, reputation is paramount and the businesses that plan to be here for the long term realize that
This was a feature that was seldom used and the decision was made to make ALL of the accounts options transparent to the programs partner?so, soon it will be a mute issue

Corvett, the only thing I can say is that I now try to steer away from sponsor programs that use ccbill on a revshare basis. I have some of the worst conversion ratios with them. When I can convert at between 1:25 and 1:100 on other programs using avs, linklist, tgps and ses, and cant even get under 1:900 with ccbill revshare programs. Then it says to me that something is wrong. Maybe its not ccbills issue, maybe its the sponsors sites.
Looking at my own stats for the year I have 18 initials and only 1 rebill in 12 months on 23k hits, dam if my own paysites converted that bad to rebill id close the bastards down. You cant make money from that. And the only thing that I see from it is that some sponsors are using that option and its why our initials dont convert as often as they should be.
Pay per signup sponsors are closing affilaites accounts down for having bad retention rates like that.
Also the use of cookies is far outdated for tracking signups, most surfers nowadays would have cookies disabled. ccbill should be telling sponsors to setup their own tracking and just send the affiliates ids through.
