What is the acceptable amount of sales to not get paid for?? 30% or 60%, does not matter.

It is a real problem and tends to be down played by sponsors and reps with terms like "chicken little" etc..

But an email to CCBill support dept. brought this reply...

=== Email response 1 ==

Dear Webmaster,

While I'm not sure what the exact percentage of surfers have cookies enabled, we do realize that this could be an issue and we also offer a way for the webmaster to pass along the affiliate code into the signup page through a hidden code. Feel free to contact our support department if you would like assistance on how to do this.

Sure,

Here's the information that I have from Jeff T ([email protected])...

The webmaster can pass along the affiliate code into the signup page he would capture it like this

{INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="ccbill_referer" VALUE="%%ccbill_referer%%"}

he would insert the code into the signup page.

also he would have to edit the form before that to pass in the referral number

Feel free to contact Jeff directly if you have any further questions on this or if this doesn't make sense.

Thanks!
Alex

Which I might add, was a very quick and professional response, the point remains that if you look at your tour pages and the join page of sponsors using CCBill, and you do not see the code supplied by the CCBill support dept to pass the referrer code, THEN YOU ARE NOT GETTING PAID FOR THAT SALE if the surfer does not have cookies enabled.

Is that incorrect?? And how so if it is??

The test that was performed that came up with the 30% cookies enabled is here

While I'm sure it's not 100% accurate, if it is only 50% accurate, then it is still a concern. The fact that there is a method to track referral codes even without cookies, as supplied by CCBill above, and CCBill knew this, then the sponsors should have know this also. And if they didn't, then why didn't they??



Sorry, but if you don't take making money and getting paid serious, then what DO you take serious. Webmasters having legitimate concerns regarding their income which they use to support their families, should not be taken so lightly by sponsors and reps from billing companies. Kind of insulting.
