ok, first thing, using NATS doesn't drop your sales 25%, webmasters who don't know how to optimize it make a couple big mistakes. I know the biggest mistake is they use the default join form.

After a couple months another kind experienced sponsor program saw I was using the default join form, and told me if I only asked for a username/password on it instead of the default First name, Last name, zip code etc... my sales would go up, and sure enough it made a whopping 15% sales increase difference!!

I'm guessing the other 10% drop some get is because NATS makes it easy to use cross-sells, and some webmaster toss in cross-sales immediately which may drop sales 5 to 10% in some cases, and the rest of any drop would be mis-configured gateway pages and idiots trying to run NATS on servers that are less than optimized to use a hardy SQL database slowing down the overall performace of the site.

After I used NATS for my own program it only made me want to only stick with NATS sponsors for my own affiliate activities since I use 100+ sponsors in any given period.

At the same time, you ccbill die hard affiliates are making me launch a parallel CCBILL version of my program, something I'm not crazy about since I know 2 things about CCBILL. #1 they allow webmasters with 100% stolen content to run programs with them and #2 They scrub so hard that you are guaranteed to have a lower conversion ratio.
