It is far better to just require the ccbill Affiliate ID (whcih we can get with our one merged login at ccbill). If you are going to require a seperate login at least include general link codes somewhere on your site so that we may simply replace the affiliate ID ith ours when this is all we need.
I don't see a reason to not put the general link codes somewhere on the site without requiring login. Doing so can often save us a lot of time and make it easier to throw up some links. And our time is also your money too. We're on the same side after all...

We had 500+ galleries available for affiliates without having to log in. Surfers get smart and post long lists on boards etc.
Right now we have everything in protected areas. However we do offer "lost password" links and you do not have to wait for approval. You still have easy access to it. But a surfer that plans to just randomly post a list of all galls in one place won't go through the hassle of signing up and giving his/her personal info.
