Shap did a thread in 2006 where he said you have to go with the specialty program.

"We paid a few thousand dollars and bought an affiliate software program called Partnersoft. That small investment was key. I’m shocked when I see large sites like Ftv Girls using Ccbill affiliate program. The tracking is NO WHERE near the same. Affiliate software is designed to track sales. Ccbill affiliate program is just something they offer for companies to get started that don't have the money to spend on affiliate software. It is not designed for huge programs. The same with Paycom. They specialize in PROCESSING! Let them process and use a software that specializes in TRACKING! This single piece of advice could be the most valuable advice any paysite owner will ever read. TRUST ME! The investment is between 5k and 20k and I guarantee it will pay itself off within a few months. I am absolutely positive that if you use an affiliate software YOUR AFFILIATES will see more sales than they would with Ccbill or Paycom."

i know its not 2006 anymore & CCBill is better since then. But he is persuasive as well. after all he is where i want to be.
