i sent a lot of traffic, didnt notice any new sales from them, so i
1. clicked my own links and went to their join page
2. viewed the source code, looking for my ccbill affiliate ID
it was not there, so that means i dont get credit for sales using the linking codes they gave to me
i was pissed off, made a thread on a private message board and contacted that sponsor about it................

I had the same problem a few years ago and I contacted ccbill about it. They said I should delete all cookies in the settings of my browser and try the link again. That's what I did, and after this the affiliate code showed up perfectly. Obviously some browsers can not store an abundance of cookies ....
Another thing you might want to check: Is the merchant code of the site's sign up page in the source code the same as the one in the referal code? Some programs switch ccbill accounts and 'forget' to inform affiliates about changes. There are plenty of examples for this disgraceful behaviour.
