True enough Toby. It is hard to predict how this is going to affect us overall. CCBill doesn't tell you when the person originally visited the site through your affiliate link, how many times they've visited or when the cookie was originally generated. I was basically giving it a stab in the dark for arguments sake.
It will be very interesting to see how major sponsors and third party processors deal with this situation. While some sponsor programs may be rubbing their hands in glee, I think there are a lot of great people in this business who are probably already planning on how they are going to ensure their affiliates get credit for all the sales they generate.
