                  the tracking abilities seem to be outstanding, already heard that from another side

                      Probable because many programs use it...From an affiliate point of view I think MPA3 is just as good no?
                      Questions?

                          I've seen the other software and there are no programs without bugs but NATS is the only one that has satisfied me.

                              That sounds like an honest opinion. Thx.

                                  To me it seems as if NATS is more preferred and I really like to know why.

                                      Its my experience the worst converting programs use NATS if you dissagree you need to look around a bit more ;)

                                          That's interesting. Why do you think that's the case ?

                                              I think it's because NATS based programs count 1st page hits vs. 2nd, 3rd, or join page.

                                              If people are going to make a blanket statement like that, they need to compare apples to apples.

                                                  Most likely reason for that is that most program overall use NATS, thus most of bad converting ones will be using NATS also... logical thing really

                                                  With the number of installs we have by now, its no wonder some of them do not convert great for everybody.

                                                      I dont really care about conversion rates... It is cool to see 1:163 or so but i like sponsors who are sending me the biggest checks

                                                                      As an affiliate, NATS is easier to use. The links are easier to create and grab in the interface.

                                                                      The CC Bill interface seems very OLD.

                                                                          As an affiliate, NATS is easier to use. The links are easier to create and grab in the interface.

                                                                          The CC Bill interface seems very OLD.

                                                                          That is another good point.

                                                                                                                                                  Nats, MPA3, CCBill, to me it doesn't matter which is used, what matters is how much money I'm making with a sponsor. Right now my best sponsor by far is a ccbill sponsors, next month it might be an MPA3 sponsor or a Nats sponsors. It has little to do with the affiliate system and promoting a sponsor just because of the system they're using is just nuts.

They never apoligized to webmasters and always acted like they did the right thing. This is waht bothers people.

                                                                                                                                                          If so, that could be a reason why some people see ratios drop when going to NATS. I like the fraud protection, but from what I hear it's a little overboard at times. For example, I was told you don't get credit for a sale until someone actually logs into the site. Also, if sell two sites from the same program to the same user, you don't get credit for one because they consider it fraud when a user signs up for a program 2x.

                                                                                                                                                          I'm not sure all the above info is correct, but I really would like some confirmation on it. I'm less and less impressed with NATS every time I try a sponsor that uses it.

                                                                                                                                                                      If so, that could be a reason why some people see ratios drop when going to NATS. I like the fraud protection, but from what I hear it's a little overboard at times. For example, I was told you don't get credit for a sale until someone actually logs into the site. Also, if sell two sites from the same program to the same user, you don't get credit for one because they consider it fraud when a user signs up for a program 2x.

                                                                                                                                                                      I'm not sure all the above info is correct, but I really would like some confirmation on it. I'm less and less impressed with NATS every time I try a sponsor that uses it.
                                                                                                                                                                      That is a very wise thing to do regardless of any affiliate software used.

Because you set it up, you then do your work... It does its job, you do your job. You don't have to do its job. It helps you with yours though and doesn't bitch about the extra work.

They never apoligized to webmasters and always acted like they did the right thing. This is waht bothers people.

It would have been wise to not implement that feature at all.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  Nats, MPA3, CCBill, to me it doesn't matter which is used, what matters is how much money I'm making with a sponsor. Right now my best sponsor by far is a ccbill sponsors, next month it might be an MPA3 sponsor or a Nats sponsors. It has little to do with the affiliate system and promoting a sponsor just because of the system they're using is just nuts.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  But from the thread titles on GFY recently you can see that people are actively looking for NATS based programs, there must be some reason for this.
