    PG, nastydollars and bangbros -shaving?

    Can anyone explain why pefect gonzo, nastydollars and bangbro's don't use nats or something like it?

    I know NATS is expensive, but if much smaller companies can afford to use it surely these much larger programs could?

    Not saying they do shave, but i don't like to think it is possible. Therefore i prefer to go with programs that have transparent 3rd party billing ie ccbill or that use NATS since i'd read that this should prevent shaving.

    A few years ago when i used to promote pay per click programs there was a 3rd party stats handler called clickthroughcalvin.com or something like that.

    I always wonder why there is not such a 3rd party that could be used by pay per sign up or partnership programs today. I know clicks would be easier than joins but still it must be possible.

    Is there any other reason other than cost for programs not to use nats?
    I know pg,nasty and bb probably don't shave sales and i'm not suggesting they do....but what could stop this happening and how could know you were getting shaved even if it was done by accident, like a glitch or something?

    These are just questions i've never really pushed any of the programs that i mention so i've had no reason to believe they do shave.

    I don't see anything wrong with a program using a custom solution to meet their specific needs.

        The new system with Perfect Gonzo is insane. Its very good, tons of features. Nasty Dollars and BBO have proven systems as well.

        Its kind of funny that you think people who don't use NATS are shaving. NATS is not the only quality system on the market, there are quite a few.

          I look at it like this... Some like chevy some like ford, they both have their good and bad qualities. I choose to buy the one I like. Just because everyone on the block has one, does not make me believe they are reputable.

          Besides... anyone who believes that sponsors using the NATS software are not still shaving and/or stealing your money, well are just fools.

          I never bought into that NATS shit, and noone will convince me otherwise. I am not saying that they don't make it harder to shave (or whatever their claims may be). I am saying that sponsors steal your money/traffic in more ways than one.

                and like pstation said, it's possible to shave with nats, the idea that it's not possible to shave with nats is just a marketing gimmick...

                  You actually think the custom solutions these companies have in place is cheap?!

                  Your GFY nick shows that you've been here since 2003... You should know not to accuse, suggest or assume programs shave unless you have some evidence.

                        Then why does the thread title say, "PG, nastydollars and bangbros -shaving?"

                          I would never think a program shaved just because they didn't use NATS. I would think they shaved based on proof. It it was just a gut feeling, I would just drop them and move on. Plenty of programs available to promote. And alot of bigger programs use custom scripts because there are features they want that NATS doesn't have or it would be too much of a pain to change it. NATS hasn't been around forever,

                          There seems to be lots of ways sponsers can utilize affiliate traffic. Some ways are ethical and some really cross the line. The debate lies with what proper credit is exactly. And that does vary from affiliate to affiliate.

                          Many things have come to light recently and at least the information has made it to the masses. Things like sponsers overwriting affiliate cookies under certain circustances or revshare programs that only pay revshare for 2 weeks. Redirecting certain browsers or IP ranges to different sponsers without crediting the affiliate whatsoever.

                          Some affiliates could care less about shaving, as long as at the end of the day they are making more cash. Others would rather make a little less knowing the program was honest. But determining what makes a program 'honest' is subjective. I believe that as long as a program fully discloses their terms to affiliates they can run their business as they see fit. This is provided the program does not make it impossible to find this data by putting it in small print or completely ommitting it. Just like anything else, do some research on the company(s) you are going to promote. Talk with them on the phone and have a way to make sure your stats check out with what they should be. If things aren't right, call them on it and let them explain it to you. If it seems fishy, out 'em.

                            EVERY sponsor "could" shave, so who do you promote then?

                              Why should they use it? There are more programs to choose from, everyone has different features, some is better some worse, NATS is just one of them. Programs can shave even with NATS.

                                I agree... programs with NATS make me feel more cozy at night.

                                  Wow. Reading the original post was sad. I hope most affiliates don't have this train of thought. My best guess is the original poster is someone who gathers all their information from GFy. He truly hasn't been educated on how our industry works.

                                          Just some food for thought:

                                          Any of the programs named above invest millions and millions of dollars in custom content, since years. Invested nights and countless hours of overtime developing systems and networks.

                                          If you were running any of these programs, would you be so dumb to risk your entire business and the future of your employees (who might have families with kids in school etc.) by shaving your affiliates that you worked so hard to get in the first place?

                                          Just put yourself in the sponsor's place and you get the right answers more often than not.

                                                    Well they did just start showing 1st page uniques in addition to 2nd page, so if you're comparing them to previous periods that's probably why.

                                                        All programs shave. The ones that don't went bankrupt. Think about the huge costs invlove and see what paying you 35-40 for EACH AND EVERY sale works to for their bottom line.

                                                            As I mentioned before, shaving is subjective. I've seen how some programs can make money with the PPS model on different price points. I can't say I 100% agree with all the methods, because in some cases even if they aren't shaving, the end user (the customer) is jerked around, creating a bad taste for online adult entertainment. And that hurts us all, and the small guys have smaller breathing room as it is.

                                                            But I agree with you that it is impossible for ALL to be and remain profitable. That's why within the next year you'll see some programs either close up shop or be bought up by ones that can make it work. As always, this business is dynamic and there's alot of changes coming

                                                                                            To use nats do not in anyway prevent shaving, you can add and take away signups with that program.
