An EXCELLENT question! here's my answer(s):

I've been in business for exactly 2 years and 4 months. LOL (My OWN biz, I mean; been online with other companies since about '06). I've seen almost miraculous growth these past 2 years, busting my ass (as many of you do). I've added a new website about once a month (started with 5 sites, now have 26, with 2 more being finished this week).

So:

1. I've been bizzy. LOL
2. Getting a merch account is not as easy as it may appear (ask Robbie, who has shared his experiences with getting one here on GFY)
3. WHICH merch account to get? Not all banks will deal with porn, or a "small guy" like me
4. I don't want to switch to a merch account 100% - considering NATS integrated with several processors instead - because I'm way too bizzy to write checks and all the other things needed with a merch account
5. My affiliates like the stability and certainty of payment through CCBill.

Just a few reasons. But basically, it's on my 'To Do' List. LOL

There are a tremendous amount of features in NATS which you can use to monitor your sites & sales and to tweak everything to maximize your potential. An increase of 5% here, 2% there, 3% here, it all adds up after a while to quite a bit. Even if you ONLY increased your sales by 5% with NATS, that's surely worth $150/mo (the starting price of NATS).

There are endless ways you can optimize your business with NATS, you need to be taking advantage of as many of them as you can these days. Don't limit yourself or your business by being dependent upon one company. If you want to throw a merchant account or an alternative payment system in the mix, don't be limited by your backend. If you want to get complex reporting and A-B testing of various options & price points, don't be limited by your backend. If you want to offer your affiliates EVERYTHING they need to make the most off of your sites, don't be limited by your backend. The list goes on and on. Don't limit yourself.

NATS 4.1 is finally ready for its official release. You can be installed directly onto it within the next few days, and it is absolutely amazing.
We will be speaking soon John, promise.
