Affiliate tracking thru a squeeze page - paydotcom

Hello,

I have to believe I am NOT the only person with this problem. PayDotCom does NOT have a solution... although they recommend a solution.

Here's the problem:

I do NOT want to send affiliate traffic directly to my sales page. I want to send them to an opt in (squeeze) page. Now they get directed to my aweber account and then sent back to my sales page.

However... in the process of sending affiliate traffic to a squeeze page, it loses the affiliate ID to track them. Especially since on my sales page - the "Add to Cart" button is a re-direct to another page set up with two payment options (one is a one pay, the other is a 3 pay). Because of this, I had to create two products, with two separate product ID's.

Then, after the person purchases with either of the payment choices, they are taken to another product I have with a one time price.

PDC says that they do NOT have a solution for tracking affiliates through a squeeze.

Their solution was this (direct from Steve in tech support)

If all pages are on the same site you could set a cookie with the affiliate value on the first page and later take the value from the cookie,
since it is your site you should find a way to do this.

If you are not capable of doing that, you will need to find/hire some who can do it for you, PDC does not offer vendor
product set up services.

End of Steve's remark.

Given that answer, have you or anyone else come up with a simple solution for this problem? If so, I would greatly appreciate knowing how to solve this problem. Thank you so much in advance!
