Only reason would be that you want to credit the webmaster with a signup at a later point.
If you use the querystring approach and the surfer bookmarks it will keep that in his bookmark so you'd get credit.

1. Sponsors usually use cookies so that sales from people who like to delete additional characters in the browser string (i.e. they come from a banner to
http://www.paysite.com/indexscript.p...eID=WebmasterA and delete all the indexscript.php4?RevshareID=WembmasterA just because out of interest or because they dont want someone to be credited for that sale) still will be credited to correct webmasters.
2.Ibill is built that way that it doesnt matter if any sponsor on Ibill wishes to use cookies or not.
If the webmaster gonna send traffic via Ibill's cookies - it will still be counted as good as if sponsor gave You that link.
