After I started doing deep tracking like that I could make almost any campaign work and go from red to black, and like $80 without optimizing to mid to high $xxx/day in a matter of days

You don't need to track by firing pixels, server postback from the sponsor to your server works great too and eliminates the problem of the pixel not firing at all on many occasions
You just summed up exactly my points above

We allow you to get full join details on conversions via postbacks from sponsors. Also, if you properly get and use your linkcodes from a NATS sponsor you're able to see exactly where the click came from, which specific ad tool (creative) it came from, which tour it was on, geo info, and more.

These are the reasons the largest programs in adult are running NATS and those running it properly are the most successful. We wouldn't be running the vast majority of the affiliate programs in the industry if we didn't keep up with both program owner & affiliate needs.

You sound like you're on top of your promotions how an affiliate should be. Unfortunately these days many aren't. They simply want to put up links & get a check. Those who promote & analyze properly can do things like turn around campaigns as you mentioned. Happy to see someone doing it properly. Just know that should you want to you have the tools you need available to you via NATS programs to promote how you need to in the adult industry also.
