Well, it's not my intention to point to any program, spookycash has great quality content, but yes, they are one of them and since I don't have much traffic in their niche, it's barely worth the hassles for me.

I'm signed up to like 180+ CCBill programs at the moment, and while I send some alot of traffic, many just receive a little and get a signup a week or so. It sums up nicely, but if each of my "complimentary sponsors" would have it's own system, keeping an overview of what's going on would be a real nightmare...keeping track of the payouts, check arrival dates, updating my books, scanning checks, archiving stubs, the whole paperwork stuff.

I don't put all my eggs in one basket, using a few dozen non-ccbill programs as well, but if I, for example, get a good listing for a keyword I have no corresponding sponsor site for, I love checking for ccbill programs first, simply because it's easy to signup, I can grab content/galleries/linkingcodes in a few minutes, that's it.

I see a big advantage for CCBill only programs on the owner side as well. Almost all webmaster already have an account, so even if they are not sure if a program may work for them, I could imagine many just signup for a quick and easy testdrive...and some will start pushing alot more traffic if they see the program performs well. When it comes to programs using their own system/interface, most affiliates are probably alot more picky.

Both have advantages and disadvantages, but sometimes convenience and the trust in a big name like CCBill are worth more to affiliates than a signup more or less, at least for me...and it's not like conversion ratios are magically cut in half with 2 or more billers. CCBill sometimes scrubs a little hard, but other do so as well and scrubbing means less chargebacks, less problems.
