Notice that the site has links to the other sites in the network and you don't get paid for them. No linking codes of any kind and putting them there would take a programmer about 30 minutes across all sites in the network.

All of them do this... Is this a form of shaving? Perhaps you send the traffic via Misty Gates and the surfer sees Bailey Knox and buys through her un-paying link. Now you just lost a sale that most other programs would have credited you.
I am seeing this tactic more and more. We aren't talking about 2nd tier processors here. We are talking about a shitload of traffic moving around without your code following it.

Those are ccbill programs so as long as the base link is the same, then you should still get credit as ccbill tracks that.
No, it's not something a programmer can do as the affiliate code is "lost" at ccbill unless the sites are setup for you to send traffic to them and not the ccbill link...
eg:
http://www.baileyknox.com/aff.php?id=1234567
Then you could "save" the affiliate id, do a redirect thru the standard ccbill link, then use the saved aff id on subsequent pages etc. But of course that opens things up for the program to easily shave sales. Of course any program that wanted to shave ccbill affiliates could do it other ways as well so not like it would matter.
