I don't really see this as a problem. They can just as easily find another link and get a new cookie from someone else, or Google the site name and find another tour to yet another biller and you're in the same boat.

Lots of people use Google to type in domain names. www.site.com and hit GO. No telling what will show up there.

I don't think this small issue is one to pull links over. The amount of guys who may do this is going to be very, very small, and there is a better chance someone else's cookie will replace yours before anyway.

Some programs run NATS and CCbill side by side. One of them is going to get the type in sale. That's just the way it is.
If I type "Bushyfemales" in Google the #1 result for me is bushyfemales.com.

Under the old way they had the program (Verotel only) I would have received credit for such a sale if I had referred them within the lifetime of the Verotel cookie (which I think is 30 days by default).

I HAVE definitely seen a difference with it.

You have to realize that if we're talking about microniches the odds of someone else's cookie replacing yours is considerably smaller.

In Xpromote's case I'd prefer to switch to the CCbill program, if they will offer it. I'm hesitant to pull links but I will switch to a competitor for future promotion over this. Why wouldn't I? We could easily be talking 30% of sales. Even 10% would be noticeable. I won't say which sponsor it is but one that I send to like this typically gets $1000 - $1500 in sales per month from me. 30% of $1,500 is $450 per month just because you switched the default processor.

Remember that in a micro niche they probably never heard of the sponsor before me....
