if u look at the links
inside the actual gallery page
they will usually be the 2nd type
you have listed here.
what the sponsors are doing
is waiting to write that cookie until
the surfer passes thru the gallery
your ccbill affiliate admin panel
isnt going to show stats until a surfer
clicks that refer.ccbill link.
so if they get lost or stuck
you wont see any traffic stats.
the 1st way is the standard and accepted way
of doing it even tho it would be better for affiliates
to send them to ccbill first.
i only know why i do it the first way
and thats ease of programming lol
the gallery urls hold important stuff
like which gallery/template to show
and sometimes internal tracking variables.
i dont want any urls to get
screwed up passing thru ccbill.
however, for you, if u can add
a sponsor's gallery/tour url to the end of
the ccbill link (and the gallery displays ok)
then u should do it..
