Sleepy, cool shit. Thanks for the info.
Unfortunate, the gallery I was mentioning was an Ibill site. ;)
I have been fairly impressed by my ccbill revshare stuff, seems to have gotten most of the sales.
And you're correct, a 2% error margin is just stuff that has to be filed under the "shit happens" category. It sucks, but it would be cost prohibitive and labor intensive (to all affiliate programs, and limit a lot of the way signups could be collected) to reduce.
But, as mentioned all ccbill affiliate sites *SHOULD* be including the webmaster ID in the HTML signup pages as previously mentioned. There is no reason not to, and may actually catch a sale that would otherwise be missed now and again. If an affiliiate program does that, I would be very satisfied in that they are doing all they can to ensure they are not missing my sales. After all, it *IS* in the affiliate program's best interest to not record some sales, but hopefully you're not dealing with anyone that does it purposefully. ;)
Basically, I think taking the extra few hours to add the form fields to the html is the least an affiliate program could do, and should be expected by webmasters. That is just my opinion, of course. Why should I push a program that isn't taking all available reasonable measures to ensure I get proper credit?
