the IP tracking doesn't help with the instances of type-ins, bookmarks etc that I mentioned... I suppose a few people might have static IP's but most of them change every time someone logs on to their ISP, or every few hours; so that really doesn't help very much.

Cascading systems like NATS will at least encode tracking into the url if someone bookmarks a site, such as domain.com/trackingcode/ - this way it is not dependant on a cookie or an IP. It doesn't help with type ins, but since most sites have the cookie expire after 3 days (unlike yours) the cookie tracking is not very effective anyway for most sites.

I've always had better ratios as an affiliate with cascading systems than any direct to ccbill program, even for programs that still use ccbill as a primary processor within their system.
