That being said, I'm pretty sure the whole "shaving" myth has been debunked for sites who use nats and mpa3 (I can't speak for others). Granted, you can't be sure a program won't up and close their doors and stop paying, but at the end of the day, if you do your own research on programs you promote, you stand to make more money.

Case in point, we currently have accounts and process through ccbill, epoch, netbilling, segpay, verotel... and for us, ccbill converts absolutely terribly for every single one of our sites...
