CCBill question, how to find out what sponsor

[Cleo]

Got a CCBill check today and as always only my affiliate number is on it. I normally just search my bookmarks ti figure out which sponsor I'm making says with but I can't find this one.

How can you find out what sponsor this is what all I know is my affiliate ID?

On a side note I've been merging all my accounts into one as I've been receiving checks.

If you can find a url that has that number in it, sometimes you can see what site it is by looking at the url. google is quite helpful with that at times.

Or, you can write to support@ccbill.com with a subject of:

AFFILIATE ACCOUNT QUESTION

and say: Can you merge 123456 with my existing account 234567 and tell me what sponsor 123456 is?

Generally, 4-6 hours and you have your answer.

Yeah I thought of mailing CCBill but then they usually want the user name too.

I also thought of using grep to search my server to see what the rest of the URL is but haven't figured out how to do that yet but I know there is a way and it is someplace in man grep for me to find out how.

grep -R 123456 *

[cd34]

if that doesn't work, (i.e. too many arguments error)

find . -type f -print | awk '{ print "grep 123456 " $1 }' | sh

Nothing on any of my servers, very strange.

I gave up and sent mail to CCBill.

I've gotten a few of them in the past - there are a sponsor or 2 that use CCBill for payouts, but it doesn't look like it from their admin.

CCBill was actually very helpful, fast too.

As I requested they merged it into the account that I'm now merging everything into and let me know that it was Maximum Cash that resulted in the sale.

Now I guess the only question is why am I getting paid through CCBill for them? What is really strange is that it shows up as I joined last year and MaxCash is like one of my oldest sponsors. It's been awhile since I've logged in, maybe I filled out something and forgot???

[cd34]

Maybe that was during that period where they were under investigation?

Are you promoting the "Diamond" sites on the MaxShare program? They (MaxCash) set up a new CCBill account for that automagically. I think. I'm a bit fuzzy on the details...

That explains it, it was done automagically.
