really don't know and never heard about that. However, NATS is just a script, not a processor, so if this happens maybe the cascade is wrong and people is blaming the script instead of processors scrubbing. Then again, never heard about that and found it quite strange.This post is endorsed by CIA, KGB, MI6, the Mafia, Illuminati, Kim Jong Il, Worldwide Ninjas Association, Klingon Empire and lolcats. Don't mess around with it, just accept it and embrace the truth -
maybe nats is more accurate in recording how shitty you areComment

I think it takes a lot of time to get correct and the site suffers in the mean time as it happens way too often to be random.Comment

if you don't have the postback set up correctly you may have sales that you cant see.- As soon as I think up a good sig it's going here.Comment

In the past we had noticed drops in sales with CCBill programs who had implemented NATS. The best we could figure is that the signup process was to blame.
Once NATS was used a customer would be required to give their email address before they were even allowed to view the signup form. With CCBill they always went straight to the signup form. We felt it was a matter of habit. They just weren't used to it and it showed in the form hits comparison. Over time customers got used to the process and sales slowly returned.
The only issue we've experienced lately would be when a program owner who implements NATS makes a mistake of some kind. Once NATS is dialed in the sales almost always increase.Comment

Noticed this same phenomenon with multiple affiliates over the years who made the switch! Before nats sales were steady and consistent, after nats sales dried up into virtually nothing.
This has happened to me with at least 4 different programs over the years. Then a very very reputable webmaster on gfy informed me that with nats you can tweak the software to make it skim sales.
I don't know if its true, I don't use nats, but that was the word on the street. With my experience the theory must hold some water because my affiliate checks have all dried up when programs converted to nats.Comment

Good point I never thought about. As a buyer of porn occasionally, (from that perspective) I am always a bit turned off when I have to first enter my email before I get to the main signup page.
I tend to naturally respect the site I am signing up for if they don't "bs me along" and give me a full form right away with all the details.
Seems a one shot form is best. Could explain the falling numbers when the surfer has a two click vs a one click process.Last edited by Vjo; 02-07-2010, 11:20 AM.Comment
