I like the idea of NATS with CCBill payments but I think you should be careful to allow both the use of the NATS links as well as the the refer.ccbill.com links as well. You see there are just so many things that can go wrong with a CCbill link that a lot of webmasters are suspicious when you add NATS to the mix. For instance from what I understand depending on the configuration if the sub-account or other ID is wrong CCBill will silently accept the hit from the affiliate but without giving the affiliate credit. An unscrupulous sponsor can potentially use that to their advantage. It's also probably happened by accident too because someone made a mistake. So these changes can make affiliates nervous. Many of us have seen a lot of bullshit over the years and we grow jaded!

Another thing to consider is cookies. Some tgp webmasters like to link directly to the refer.ccbill.com link to the gallery. This sets their cookie. But from what I understand nats can work differently where the cookie is not set in this way but instead upon an actual first click. At least it isn't clear to me. If it's not clear to me then it's probably not clear to some other webmasters too and it might make them think the switch will result in reduced earnings. Rightly or wrongly. So if you want to keep everyone happy make sure to allow both types of links and make sure to provide both type of links in all promo material so the webmaster can choose on their own. Then no one has an excuse to get nervous.

About your program I signed up a long time ago. You have some interesting content. I never promoted you much because I thought something was wrong. I forget what it was. Maybe only being 40% or something with the rebills not showing as giving credit. Or maybe it was just a lack of usable galleries. It was a long time ago and I forget what it was exactly (so no one go by what I am saying here because I may be confused). But I'll definitely take another look. Do you have lots of movie galleries both flash and wmv? I think maybe that was the problem at the time?
