I'm not saying you should only use NATS programs. There are other 3rd party systems out there. There are people who run their own software. I'm simply saying you should spread your risk around. You should be promoting NATS programs, CCBill programs, MPA programs, Epoch programs, independent programs, etc.
Companies go out of business. The fantasy that programs running on CCBill never go out of business is laughable. It would be a fantastic world if every company stayed in business forever, but that's quite delusional. The % of affiliate programs disappearing is a very small % and in this economy it's not surprising to see some not make it.
It has always happened, it will always happen. Spread your risk around.

Are you sure in what you wrote if you consider that I am promoting one niche.(hard to find good and updated websites).I am not talking about NATS precisely,I am talking about any kind of similar software that will leave payment on sponsor.In past several years I was only screwed for money with programs using software like this and that is simple fact and I can write complete list of them. I never had problems with CCbill and there are still websites not updated anymore with ccbill that are making sales and I am actually getting that money. That's a huge difference for me. Once I've removed almost all programs not using CCbill (or Verotel because I also promote verotel sites which means I am not putting all eggs in one basket), my revenue is much more stable and I have better conversion ratios then before. There are few programs left that I am promoting that are using NATS but it is because of my personal relationship with owners that will send me money when I ask on my epassporte, even without need to wait for break amount(or it happened that something went wrong and there were no sales, but guys send me money regarding my average conversion rate). When I was promoting sites using software we are talking about, there was always some money waiting on dozen accounts that I need to take care and wait and no one from those sponsors didn't had enough websites in my niches so I can give massive push what made me always waiting for sales and loosing too much time on accounting and checking.
