Quick Example:

User sent from ccbill link:

1. User hits ccbill landing page.
2. Special cookie is set with expiration equal to the ccbill cookie under your domain.
3. Proceed normally to ccbill signup

Type-in:

1. Render main page as normal.
2. If join link is clicked, attempt to locate cookie and read it.
a. If no valid cookie, do not set and proceed as normal (e.g. Zombaio).
b. If valid cookie set proceed to ccbill signup form/cascade (so affiliate gets credit)

This should work rather well I'm thinking. It would just need to be written.

Note: we could make it more complex to handle multiple affiliate backends too. Such as if you had verotel, ccbill, and zombaio affiliate programs so that the affiliate always gets credit for their typeins.
If it would work, that would be a great little code to have and would solve a lot of problems, making everyone happy.

I think finding a solution like this is 100x better than having to drop affiliates or push them into being cornered with one processor.
