NATS question
 

HI: From perspective of affiliate partner webmaster, do you know how often stats in NATS are updated (number of clicks)? When you put some gallery online, people start clicking and when you will see those clicks logged by NATS?

right away

should be asap :) kidding, right that moment.

hm
 

If I don't see 2 clicks that I have just made from two different browsers and after computer reset ( so I can change IP), is sponsor cheating?

verify you are looking at raw stats and not unique...

clear all cookies issued from the nats site and rehit the link.

If a unique doesn't show up, I'd contact the site...

While it's rare, a few of the bigger nats programs do not update the db live, but I would say max 15 minutes either way.

The program could also be tracking qualified hits (1st page tour clicks). They could also have Country filtering for clicks. If the program doesn't display raws, the cookie being set could be stopping it from tracking the unique. And that may not clear up if you submitted the join page and got IP tracked.
