Creating an affiliate blog

Any of you have any experience passing an affiliate id through WordPress? I was hoping that affiliates could link to the paysite-based blog with a simple URL like example.com/index.php?AFFILIATE-ID instead of using the long and ugly CCBill URL. Unfortunately, by the time WP finally builds the page, the affiliate id is long gone. I've searched WP's forums and plugins for a solution, but can't find one.

I can't wait to see what happens with the RSS feed.

On topic for this discussion, but not blogging:
Am I correct in assuming that, if I must, I could use the CCBill linkage to link directly to the blog and the cookie created by them would carry through to the paysite even though the blog is on a different domain? It seemed to work during my test, but I need to be absolutely positive.(obviously) I suppose I could just ask Chop, but that would be too easy.
