Is it time to switch over to cascading, or even merchant accounts? I know internal stat programs such as MPA2 scare away a lot of affiliates, but thousands of dollars are being lost everytime there is a glitch. This is the 3rd downtime this month, and I know it's personally cost me a nice chunk of change.

No matter what processor goes down, you should always cascade, to protect yourself. If it isnt one, its the other, and if not the other, then something else is up. Scrubbing is up a bit here, then a bit over there, processor a or b or c - who cares.

Own merchant account, smart, if you can handle it...

Do it all, and make sure you protect yourself, because no one else will...

MPA2 - soon to be 3
