Thats why as an affiliate, i always hated when my ccbill sponsor accounts jumped ship for cascading billing. If you only put your traffic emphasis on a few programs thats one thing.... but when you have hundreds and hundreds of ccbill accounts, and you may generate a sale or two with a program, and it fizzles out... with ccbill i get paid for those, becuase they dont get lost under that $100 or, god forbid haha!!,... the $50 minimum.
No offense to cascading billing. For the affiliate program... it's "great", and we are all familiar with how easy they are for hosted galleries, link coding, tracking, etc.
If your a big affiliate program, and have alot of sites to promote, cascading is more doable for smaller webmasters, becuase they can promote all your sites, but if you only have one or two, on a cascading system, my guess is your best affiliates are going to be the ones who focus on just promoting your sites and a few others.
Im basically saying this is an issue for small to medium, and possibly many larger tgp webmasters, and webmasters who just flat spread out there traffic , who have no choice but to NOT promote a cascading affiliate program, becuase the webmaster doesnt want to send traffic where he's not going to get the money from even 1 or 2 sales.
As we grow and build more sites that reflect alot of different niches, we will probably switch over to a cascading system ourselves, but for the time being we have alot of smaller webmasters, who would simply just get cut out of the loop on sales. CCbill's system is much easier and more convienent then to personally send out a couple of hundred extra $14.95 checks.
