If you were to ask me to many webmasters are placing a whole lot of trust in programs and the systems programs run on these days are overly complex. Some less experienced programs believe that when they jump on board with an advanced affiliate script that the big bucks start rolling in and thats just not true.
They can be manipulated, they HAVE been manipulated and certainly are overly complex from controlling the exit consoles to trading traffic to intertwining cross sales and in some cases abused to the full hilt of functionality.
I think programs are more interested in trading with each other than doing actual business with the affiliates.
I feel for the webmasters not educated about these sort of things, they depend on the stats of a system that does not belong to them, they do not track there own hits out.
Maybe I am old fasioned but some of the best programs for me do not use any sick geared shit, they use straight up CCBILL or longterm based processor and to me it is an absolute bonus. I would rather trust the processor stats ( whom are betting on me to get a sale ) VS a system that uses several of them under the guise of declines and attempts for other means of processor then sending me the sale.
I just do not trust people these days I guess so I limit myself to what I know and do what I can to leave unknown factors out:/ Me and SDA are now working together I am pretty sure we will never upgrade to NATS or MPA or anything and just stick to the basics of Business of shared opportunity with affiliates and our own inhouse marketing that we do.
I am not impressed with the opportunity of cross sales, I am not impressed with the idea of pop consoles and crap. If you do not convert you get the traffic back, no page jacking or leaks.
