[Useless]

That scenario is out your hands. If another webmaster manages to send the same surfer back to your tour via the CCBill link, cookie #1 is overwritten. That's how the cookie crumbles.

The best you can to do for an affiliate is set the cookie life to 255 days, which is the maximum allowed in the CCBill interface. I know that Simon from Cash Fetish mentioned that's what he has his set to.

Here's something I've been thinking about which may help affiliates market your site. Give a really good and accurate description of what is in the members area. Screen shots of it are good as well. Do a truthful review of your own site(s). Affiliates are typically left to market a paysite based completely on the tour. And frankly, most tours do a piss-poor job of informing potential members and webmasters of what content is on the other side of the door. We could do a much better job with our promotional efforts if we had a clear picture of what types of content you offer and how many different types of action are present. For example, a babe site may have more than just pics of naked babes. There may be toying and lesbian content as well. This is the kind of thing that helps an affiliate wrap themselves around a site and fully market its potential.
