A lot of sponsors will lose money for doing this as the affiliate gets their cut.
I get that as an affiliate I won't get credit for everything. But there's a boundary and I think this is pushing it.  |
For me personally, it isn't an issue of giving you 1% or even 10% more, it is more of not putting all of my eggs in the same basket. I lost a processor before that we used about 95% of the time, it put me out of business at the time and I'm just now starting to recover from that blow. Never again. Affiliates will get one processor, with a cascade (which they get credit) to another. My internal traffic will get another 1 - 2 processors that I juggle. Nothing personal against affiliates, but I can't afford to lose big like I did before.
If someone smarter than me could write a code that would read a ccbill cookie and then redirect my ccbill affiliates to a ccbill tour should someone do a type-in, I'm all for it. Otherwise, I can't take that risk. Actually, that would be a cool thing for ccbill to offer site owners for those who wish to use it.
You do what you gotta do man. We all have to do that to get by these days.
