No drama, no calling out. I just need a bit of advice.

There's a program that I've been promoting for about five years. Its a fantastic site, updated weekly. Exclusive content.

Up until a year or so ago, they processed exclusively through a 3rd party processor. I never sent a lot of traffic, but promoted them because conversion ratios were very good, and I just really like the site.

Now, on July 1st, 2010, this program switched to MPA3. I redirected all of my links to the MPA3 based program on that date.

When you click "JOIN" after following the MPA3 links, you'll find that the site still exclusively uses the old 3rd party processor. There does not appear to be a cascade in effect. Its the same single third part processor, but with an added layer of pointlessness.

So, I began to switch my links early this year, and here are my stats from the original third party system - Jan1, 2010 - June 30, 2010:

Raw Unique S/U Rebills Amount Ratio (Uniques)

38,592 30,338 48 95 $2,516.75 1:632

(My all time ratio is 1:900 - so this is actually better than the four previous years)

Not great, but as I said, I don't send a lot of traffic. So, its like a $100 a week. No big deal. Covered the server I promoted them on and gave me some extra $ to dick around with scripts, templates, and content.

Now's here the kicker.

Using the same 3rd party processor, but through their MPA3 links, my stats are - from Jan 1st, 2010 to August 25, 2010:

Uniques Trials Sales Ratio Rebills C/B Credits Payouts

13074 0 7 1/1,868 9 0.00 0.00 264.00

If you only take stats from when all of my links were switched over to MPA3 - July 1st, 2010 to August 25, 2010, here's the results:

Uni Trial Sales Ratio Rebills C/B Credits Payouts

5445 0 2 1/2,723 2 0.00 0.00 66.00

In Summation:

My ratio with this program using third party processing (from Jan 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010) is 1:632. From June 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010 (the last month they used the third party stats), my ratio was 1:716.

My ratio with this program using MPA3 through the same third party processor (from July 1, 2010 to August 25, 2010) is 1:2,723. My ratio from July 1st, 2010 to July 30, 2010 (the first month I switched all my links to their MPA3 sytem) is 1:3,600
