    Why I Haven't Joined NATS or MPA3 Yet

    Stuff like this:

    http://www.businessvoyeur.com/2005-0...away-from-nats

    as well as the thread last week about Jason & Alex leaving NATS keeps me from signing up for either program.

    Trends come and go, but CCBill has always ALWAYS treated me well. I'll just stick with what they offer. I've been in this business almost 8 years now. When it ain't broke, don't fix it.

      Comparing CCBill to NATS is like comparing apples and oranges. They aren't even remotely similar.

          I agree.. it's good that you enjoy being with CCBill.. but if you were to drop CCBill for NATS you would be the laughing stock of the industry.

              The point is:

              I've been using CCBill's affiliate manager exclusively since my sites opened. I think I'll stick with that alone for now until a decent cascading billing/affiliate manager solution is in place.

              I've spoken with another large program that tried cascading billing and was told they saw very little difference. I think people exaggerate the number of "extra sales".

                  I obviously didn't do a good job explaining what I meant. See post #4. NOW! LOL.

                      The only way you'll ever know is by trying out for yourself.

                      I've personally seen the difference, on two different occasions. Which is why as an affiliate I will very rarely send traffic to programs that are not cascading. If the site owner wants to leave money on the table that's his decision, I'll stick with sending my traffic to those that are eager to process every interested surfer possible.

                          If I was an affiliate I'd be afraid of losing credit for the sale somewhere in the middle of all that extra processing. From some of the things I've been hearing from trusted people in the business it's highly likely to happen.

                              I'm off to run some errands for a few hours... I'll check back in later.

                              All I can say is that there are a handful of companies that I really look up to... Karups is one of them.

                              And the company that told me they didn't see much difference is another. I won't mention them, but they're gold.

                              Those two companies, combined with the Jason and Alex thread, lead me to the decision to keep things exactly as they are for now.

                              I'd love to see some feedback from others.

                                  Imagine that your sales wouldn't increase. But what about your eggs? With cascading, you can put them in 2-3-4 or more baskets.
                                  Questions?

                                      I'd like to know what Karups are moving to, whether it be a custom solution or another companies' product.

                                              As the innovator of an affordable cascading billing solution integrated into a full fledged affliate management software I can say that over the course of the past 4 years our customers have enjoyed an average of about 26% increase in joins using a cascade over multiple processing companies.

                                              The numbers are indeniable.

                                                                                  The numbers are indeniable.

                                                                                  To do that a paysite would have to be getting over 30% in declines if they were with one processor.

                                                                                  Who here gets 30% declines at the first processor, I know I don't. More like 5% and if they get declined it's usually for a good reason.

                                                                                  We are with My Virtual Card and CCBILL. CCBILL do 90% of the sign ups on the paysite, I believe it's because the surfer has used them before and trusts them. On the Content stores we got 80% of our money or maybe even more going via MVC.

                                                                                  The reasons are MVC have a higher limit, we name them as our prefered processor (the buyers trust us) and they are top of the list. But we do get more refusals from MVC on the stores and then we refer them to CCBILL who usually processes the payment.

                                                                                                      I have trusted ccbill since they started (I joined them from the Sypro dimise)
                                                                                                      Presently, partners collect at a minimum 25$ If they leave before that amount - I assume ccbill pocket the outstanding - It has certainly never come back to me.
                                                                                                      With cascading, you can set a much higher figure - Normally 100$ - This gives the programme longer time with most partner's cash, and, as many never actually reach that first 100$ - The programme keeps it.
