Do you prefer programs which pay direct, CCBill, or Epoch? - GoFuckYourself.com

Do you prefer programs which pay affiliates via CCBill or Epoch or directly? Directly just for the separation in StatsRemote or only with payments via ePassporte or PayAgent?

Any explanations of why you might prefer what you prefer most welcome.

Personally, I feel the most confident with getting paid by CCBill and Epoch for a couple reasons. For starters, I know they pay out weekly and like clockwork. Plus, their $25 limit is easy to reach, especially when you can group programs together into one check.

However, I don't like the stats with CCBill so a program must really have some sites I like in order for me to give it a try. With CCBill, you never know what kind of affiliate area you're going to get.

I'm really digging Epoch's MPA3 affiliate setup, though. It's definitely a step forward and I'm actively seeking out black/interracial sites to promote using their new software.

One of the main reasons I feel this way is because promoting other sites isn't my full time gig. I run a handful of my own paysites and like to promote other sites on the side and reaching some program's minimum for payouts can sometimes take a bit too long.

Most programs are setting their payouts to $100 before they pay out. It's their program and that's fine but sometimes I try a site and it doesn't work out too well, but I made a few sales and now that money just sits there in limbo forever. Had it been a CCBill or Epoch sale, it would just get merged with any other sales and eventually get pushed through the pipe to me.

I'm curious to see what other people have to write.

I'd definitely like to be able to see more of where joins came from precisely in my stats (I use CCBill now for my affiliate program) and it is something my affiliates and partners have often asked for as well.

I prefer sponsors which use NATS, utilize multiple cascading amongst different IPSPs, and pay direct. Either that or just a straight CCBill affiliate program which utilizes CCBill to cut checks.

At this point, I do not really trust any other affiliate software. From my experience, I've gathered that many sponsors out there shave affiliates selectively, based on what kind of traffic they're sending.
