New Program : NATS vs CCBILL
 

I am starting up a new affiliate program with 7 sites and since we don't have a huge budget yet i am thinking of starting with just CCBILL to do the billing, stats, payouts and then to upgrade to NATS later on.

My question is, do webmasters these days not even take your program seriously unless you use NATS or MPA3?

Will going strictly CCBILL hold me back from gaining webmasters to promote my stuff?

Thanks

For me CCBILL

I don't touch programs that use CCBILL....my clicks never add up and they scrub entirely too hard

CCBill can be okay, but most programs that use them heavily code around the CCBill cookie's to give the wms a little more security with thier traffic.

I hate promoting a CCbill program. Bad tracking, often no backup processor, etc. This makes for 20-30% less sales

Go with NATS or don't go at all :)

NATS with 2 processors

Sounds like nats is worth the investment.

which processors do you guys recommend going with when using NATS? CCBILL and Paycom?

i dont like ccbill at all ;< it sux

also with NATS, would we have to send out payments to webmasters ourselves? Are there any companies that would do this for you?

as an affilate of many sites. i will tell you i preffer the once using NATS.. it also has great setup for Hosted gallerys and exporting the urls.. sites that don't use nats drive me nuz.. and some i just don't use .. becouse its too diffecult to deal with them

I was woundering about this as well.

Cant you like have nats and then let cbill cut the checks, is that possible?

In the long run, you have more options to work with if you use NATS. They're also priced affordably for start-up companies so budgeting shouldn't be a big problem. I'd say go with them now... since you're planning on doing it in the future anyway, might as well just save yourself the time and your affiliates the hassle.

I did enjoy having CCBill cut the checks though.

Yes this is a good question about affiliate check processing. That's the one thing that makes me hesitant about starting with NATS instead of just using CCBill.

Hmm i don't see how that makes any sense. If a program runs with NATS what do you think they process with in the back? NATS?

go with nats

Nats :thumbsup

Go with NATS, with the cascading billing options your also make more joins.
There are other tools within nats that will also help you bring in more joins or mail out special offers to get members that cancel back for you and your affiliates.

NATS baby :thumbsup

sometimes peoples credit cards get declined on ccbill but approved with paycom

Getting nats and and cascading between ccbill and paycom would be your best option. You are just leaving money on the table if you aren't doing it

NATs all the way

Nats is more than worth it.

most do ccbill first then hop to nats, the epass/checks issue is troublesome but there are companies who do that just search

only that you can't do cascade billing with ccbill.

Do you have any contact info? I would like to chat with you :)

I love ccbill! If I had 10 sites + and a few people working for me, I would consider nats or stuff like that. But for now, ccbill rock! Stats are great and signup-ratios are very good! :)
