The only scenario where this could be compromised is if the surfer didn't bookmark the tour and returned via our main front splash page. This takes you to www.kinkykicks.net/tourseo which is currently by-passing NATS.
The beauty of NATS is that I can (and have been) using rules so that affiliate traffic only gets a CCBill form on any tour regardless of where they enter the site and I can use whatever cascade I want for my type-in traffic.
I must confess that I'm seeing pro's and cons for both setups but I am possibly leaning towards keeping the NATS setup.
Yes and your url is on most banners and videos and "kinky kicks" is pretty memorable too so a type in or return from google is very possible. From experience (14 years as an affiliate and when I had a pay site in the early days) somewhere from 10 - 30% of sales will come back and do a type in or return through a bookmark. I don't care too much which processor is used but as an affiliate I need to get credit if someone comes back and types in your site a few hours later. It's your business but it's also mine where I send traffic so I will probably have to pull links and just send to Clubdom if it remains this way past a few days because they do pretty good for me and I get credit for returning type ins too. You do have some very nice content though. Good luck with getting things how you want them.
