Am I mislead here?
 

Is it common practice to pick a sponsor, promote them for years using one method whether its CCBILL OR NATS, whatever, and when I send traffic, there are ALTERNATIVE join options?

I felt with the traffic Im sending and the fact my sales are dropped this was odd, then I discover there are MANY methods for the sponsor to offer for the surfer that I will NOT get credit for?

I'm just curious, is this common? Or kinda sneaky to the webmaster putting time, money and effort to convert to a sale :(

You have to pick a sponsor that gives you credit then. Some sponsors are really incredible in inventing traffic leaks and shaving practices.

With NATS you should receive credit for all of those processors as they should all run through the NATS system. If you see someone doing otherwise please let me know.

That however is one downfall to many single processor systems, you are correct.

Hi,

You should absolutely get credit for all joins through cascading processors.

Any half-decent system will be able to track you, no matter the processor.

NATS does this transparently; it doesn't matter what processor is used, even CCBill.
