Question to all affiliates: Why do you dig NATS?
 

Honest question, why do you prefer NATS over any other affiliate system?

Let the opinions roll in :pimp :pimp

Because its the best affilaite software out there

because of the tracking abilities and overall ease of use

Thx for your opinion

the tracking abilities seem to be outstanding, already heard that from another side

Probable because many programs use it...From an affiliate point of view I think MPA3 is just as good no?

I've seen the other software and there are no programs without bugs but NATS is the only one that has satisfied me. :thumbsup

That sounds like an honest opinion. Thx.

To me it seems as if NATS is more preferred and I really like to know why.

Its my experience the worst converting programs use NATS if you dissagree you need to look around a bit more ;)

That's interesting. Why do you think that's the case ?

I think it's because NATS based programs count 1st page hits vs. 2nd, 3rd, or join page.

If people are going to make a blanket statement like that, they need to compare apples to apples.:)

Most likely reason for that is that most program overall use NATS, thus most of bad converting ones will be using NATS also... logical thing really :)

With the number of installs we have by now, its no wonder some of them do not convert great for everybody.

I dont really care about conversion rates... It is cool to see 1:163 or so but i like sponsors who are sending me the biggest checks :)

Thx Fabian for a simple explanation.

That's true as well

What do you mean with the 1st page hits only ?

Hows does NATS compare with CC Bill for reliability?

As an affiliate, NATS is easier to use. The links are easier to create and grab in the interface.

The CC Bill interface seems very OLD.

That is another good point.

I am more of a MPA3 person myself.

Because they like getting 999 different checks.
Or they enjoy logging into 9999 different sites to check stats and get link codes.
Or they don't realize that most nats program use ccbill as a primary processor and stupidly think that nats is getting them more signups.

On second thought those might be reasons people don't like nats...

That is nice, but what does this have to do with NATS ?

Nothing, it was just a fact I stated. An opinion so to speak!

And what about the sponsors that don't work with ccbill ?

Actually the question was why you dig NATS, not why you love MPA3 :winkwink: :winkwink:

Because its what powers MayorsMoney! :winkwink: :winkwink:

double post...

might be another good reason :upsidedow :upsidedow

damn board software acting out again

Well, I dig NATS because I love MPA3 more? Is that a better answer?

Becuase you can cascade bill

Now it gets very confusing......... :helpme :helpme

Yea, I know. I just like MPA3 better, then again... I am only a small time user (affiliate wise). So, enough of my opinions about MPA3 in this thread.

That is in fact a good reason and should also bring more money into the pockets of an affiliate

Thx for your input anyway :)

nats is sexy and i like it because i do ok? now leave me alone ccbill boi

Personally I think people make too much of what affiliate system a program is using and not looking at other factors that make a sponsor convert great or miserably.

Nats, MPA3, CCBill, to me it doesn't matter which is used, what matters is how much money I'm making with a sponsor. Right now my best sponsor by far is a ccbill sponsors, next month it might be an MPA3 sponsor or a Nats sponsors. It has little to do with the affiliate system and promoting a sponsor just because of the system they're using is just nuts.

It's preffered to mpa3 becasue of the attitude the MPA guys have toward the shave feature they had in version 2. They never apoligized to webmasters and always acted like they did the right thing. This is waht bothers people.

It's been established that the product is good.

Doesn't NATS has some sort of extra level of fraud protection, or was that an add-on I saw one sponsor use?

If so, that could be a reason why some people see ratios drop when going to NATS. I like the fraud protection, but from what I hear it's a little overboard at times. For example, I was told you don't get credit for a sale until someone actually logs into the site. Also, if sell two sites from the same program to the same user, you don't get credit for one because they consider it fraud when a user signs up for a program 2x.

I'm not sure all the above info is correct, but I really would like some confirmation on it. I'm less and less impressed with NATS every time I try a sponsor that uses it.

Who said I did? I perfer ccbill.

i can track with other systems too, i really dont understand what the fuss is all about with NATS... but yea its fairly quick to use.

That is a very wise thing to do regardless of any affiliate software used.

It is like asking why do you like Quickbooks for handling your money... Because you set it up, you then do your work... It does its job, you do your job. You don't have to do its job. It helps you with yours though and doesn't bitch about the extra work.

That is why I started this thread, to find out what's the fuss is all about and why affiliates might prefer NATS and it seems as if there are actually some reasons for it.

Good point, thx for you post

noone said so, or did I miss something ?

That's a valid reason of course, although it has nothing to do with one system being better than the other. It would have been wise to not implement that feature at all.

Sexy is always good :thumbsup :thumbsup

But from the thread titles on GFY recently you can see that people are actively looking for NATS based programs, there must be some reason for this.

I've never done that good with proggies using nats...
