Affiliates... NATS wants YOUR input...
 

We have just released NATS v2.0 which has major imporvments in the admin interface. We'd like to now spend some more time focusing on taking the affiliate experience to the next level.

Everyone seems to enjoy the hosted gallery export tools and campaign support. Many people have had problems with the encoded link codes and with v2.0 we now allow unencoded link codes to be used also.

My question to all the affiliates out there is what else would you like to see added/changed/modified/developed/invented from an affiliate standpoint to make your experience with sponsor programs using NATS more enjoyable.

Let the ideas flow.

I have a suggestion.....

When you log in to most processors, your primary goal is to look at your stats (in most cases). Why not have the first page that loads after sign-in load the stats in a table. That would save 3-4 clicks for the affiliates.

I like NATS, but don't spend enough time looking at my stats to be able to offer suggestions.

okay . . . I do have one . . . it would be nice if we could incorporate our affiliate codes so that we could look at all of our stats at one place like I can with CCBill programs

A functioning CMS that would allow you to accurately track what the surfer is clicking on in the members area.

I think the first cascading billing software offering CMS with it will probably take over the whole market .

That was called monolith :)

OK, this is a BIGGIE, but would be cool as hell if it could be done. This idea also relies heavily on the program having the material ready.....

How about if an affiliate could choose custom tours and their pages? Like by length (1, 2, or 3 pages), design (tour1, tour2, etc.) or several other options like a BYOT program, but sponsor hosted, and run by the nats backend.

Good idea

I think NATS mascot should be a goat, or a camel.

I have a crush on you. :helpme

How about a button in the admin area that when pressed... it deposits heaps of cash into you bank account.

seriously tho... :winkwink:

build you own galleries, free sites, and avs's so that designers get credit.

i think the admin area needs some minor cosmetic and navigational help :thumbsup

:thumbsup

I thought so too

We have something for that already. At least basically..

http://www.accountadmin.com/

Its still in beta.

I would like to be able to see which webmasters are referred under me and what they have generated for me on an individual basis

the active members table showing how many members are still active.

I have one, and a very important one too. And some other things that may help.

1. Direct to join linking. Otherwise my fancy landing pages are of no use.
2. Unified tracking. That is all sponsors should track using raws on the first page I send the hit to.
3. If possible, ability to link to any page of the tour. I had a bad experience where a sponsor put a rather awful looking babe on the front page and i hit 5000 uniques for no sales.. my worst ever. I am sure others have experienced something similar.

And now a small question:
1. Lets say someone sends a click to a certain porn site using NATS but the surfer doesn't buy. Two days later, the surfer comes over to my site and I do a good job selling to him, using trailers, tours, previews served using my bandwidth, showing him everything he wants and then getting his credit card out so that all he has to do is go and sign up.... who gets the credit for signup? Me or the dude who sent the click first?

I think something that would be awesome would be when users try to login and they are expired or could not be rebilled have a page come up and offer them to signup for a discounted rate etc. I get so many emails where the users can not login but it is because they cancelled their trial etc. It would be great to have a page come up and say sorry you cancelled your trial and your login was removed on xx/xx/xxxx then offer them a cheaper membership or something.

add a feature to see your active members for revshare sites like ccbill has.

1. works already (talk to the program owner)
3. works already (talk to the program owner)

The question: You get it. Last one to send the surfer.

I've set this up on a few NATS programs :)

Add /join to the end of you link code.
