Creating an affiliate blog

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.

UW, if you are looking for a solution then I would like to invite you to www.FeedAdult.com rss mangement script...

The blog I'm currently working on is for one site, but there would be links in the sidebar to all of the other sites in the program. So the cookie would have to work for all sites.

The goal is to have it set for both direct linking and to allow affiliates to pull an RSS feed with their affiliate ID embedded within all of the links, if they so choose. I'm beginning to think that there are far simpler ways of building a basic blog and then using an RSS script to add the level of functionality, rather than prying away the different levels of WP that seem to be dropping the affiliate ID on me. As it stands, by the time the page is produced, <?php echo $QUERY_STRING?> is nothing but an empty space in the outgoing links.
