It would seem to me very easy to check if you're getting sales, lost or what ever.
Get on ICQ and start checking each others programs. You can email the sponsor and tell them to cancel your tests.
John, accept that some people have a problem, don't deny it's there because you can't see it. They can.
Over all no program can afford to lose the sales some are claiming, nor can they afford to have their affiliates lose the sales some are claiming. Using NATS with it's cascading billing should gain sales not lose them.
However it's clear as daylight some affiliates have a problem and it should be dealt with, not denied.
I will be sticking with CCBILL.
The downside is I have only one biller, if I put up a second the affiliates hate me and accuse me of shaving them. Even if I was paying the 65% on the one biller.
Might put up a second or third biller and adjust the payment % accordingly. Then tell the haters to

and find a new program. Because it seems you can't please all the people all the time. Which is the essence of this thread.
So just went back on my own advice. Not trying to be funny, only stating the obvious.
