k. since we are changing over to nats i am gonna defend them here and i am gonna tell you why....
1.
nats uses cascading billing, ccbill does not... that means that all those denied sales have a second chance at being run through, i get many of those daily now, sales that affiliates would not have gottan with ccbill
2.
ccbill uses cookies, meaning non-cookie traffic(12%) will not get credit, nats will give credit to non-cookie traffic. also, when you use a nats sponsor you will notice a bookmark referral stat, those are people who left, then came back to the sponsors url, and you still get credit for that, you see nats tracks that, so if they see a gallery on your site, then leave and come back to the paysite later... it tracks that and gives you credit
3.
nats gives you amazing stats, not just of the urls that made sales, but also the ones that did not, so you can track how many clicks each gallery does and which pay spots, tgps, etc. list ya and give you sales
4.
it allows things like bonuses, different payouts for different sites, higher payout weekends and much more
most companies use nats or another type of stats program, you just do not always know which one they use because they customize the pages so much
when a program changes to nats people say... oh look i got 6 sales today with ccbill and only 2 with nats, but they sometimes do not realize that the old links have been around for many months and many sales come from old links.
nats is NOT a tool to allow sponsors to cheat, most sponsors do not cheat, that is like biting the hand that feeds ya, i want my affiliates to have the best conversions possible and the most sales possible so they keep pushing our program.... anyone who does otherwise is a fool
nats does not change sales in any way, it tracks stats, the billers remain the same, as do the tours and everything else
