question for NATS experts...

is there any way for a NATS program to disable affiliate conversions on specific accounts by any method without letting the affiliate know?

I have some affiliate accounts that I had steady conversions on for almost a year, then suddently they stopped, although the tour of the sponsor site did not change, nor did the source of the traffic being sent to it.

Made me wonder if there was a way to effectively cheat NATS to disable conversions on specific accounts ...

Maybe a dumb question, just wondering and any positive or constructive input would be appreciated.

Thanks

if the sponsor bans you it redirects your traffic to a page stating so. either way there are lots of ways a NATS sponsor(just like any other) can cheat you. do business with people you trust.

There's no shave feature built into NATS. From a host perspective that has many clients that use it I'm not aware of any way it can be done. I think though that everyone would agree a program is only as honest as it's owner and that with enough effort or resources bad people can do bad things.

Before jumping the gun I would try and speak with the sponsor and get some feedback from them on your conversions and advertising material. If they're not helpful that's not necessarily an indictment but it does mean that you should be sending your traffic elsewhere.

Yes, but you are the only affiliate in the world that feature is being used on. Go figure.
