We do that.
If a program stops using CCBills script and still allows you to use your old CCBill links then they are allowing you to choose either or. (providing they have things set up correctly)
The problem occurs when hits from your CCBill links are sent to the new tour used for the new script.
Any other affiliate scripts are not going to recognise a CCBill code besides theirs. You will still see clicks in your CCBill admin, but you will be seeing no sales in your CCBill admin or the sponsors new admin.
If you are still using your old CCBill link codes the sponsor should have a CCBill tour set up just for that traffic. If not chances are that sales are not being tracked.
Here is an example of how BikiniVoyeur works. It was originally only using CCBill's script and still does for this style of link:
http://refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clic...0000&PA=620577
will take you to the CCBill tour here:
http://www.bikinivoyeur.com/index-ccb.php
Our new codes looks like so:
http://www.bikinivoyeur.com/affil.php?affilid=147 and will take you to its own tour here:
http://www.bikinivoyeur.com/index2.php
If you notice both tours look similar but the CCBill tour has a different join page that's able to track the ccbill link code.
If I was to send that traffic to the other tour no affiliate sales would be tracked.
