Affiliate Opinion: Would you like to use one login to access all NATS programs?
 

Let's say you could use your TMMid (http://www.tmmid.com) to login to and use any NATS program. Would you like that ability?

Yes please with sugar on top?

Yes that would be nice and convenient

Like the idea too

Probably not. As both an affiliate and a paysite owner I would much prefer nats the way it is.

sounds good, but please remove from nats4 option to view others encoded links. i choose to use encoded link cause i want to be hidden a bit, but in nats4 you can see username from any encoded link, that is not good imho

In what way wouldn't you like it?

and btw thinking about the one login to all nats, i think its not needed as we have nifty

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Could you explain in more detail?

I think it would be easier . . . . should be anyway.

that would be good
but what with all existing logins? or there will be an option to integrate them all under one tmmid acc?

There are a lot of issues that come up and we have ideas to solve them. I just don't to share all of those details quite yet.

Tho, with this issue you'd simply be able to tie your existing account to your TMMid and use your TMMid login instead. Your account wouldn't change, your username / old links / etc. wouldn't go away, you'd simply be able to tie that existing account to your TMMid and use your TMMid to login to it.

yup, I think I'd like it.

in nats4, in link codes section, you can see "Detail" of any link. in detail you see username and other informations from encrypted nats links, but not only from yours, but from any nats link

Yes, one login would be good indeed.

Fuck that.. what would be awesome in a dream world would be a system where checks come from one source so we can all push nats programs without fears of not getting paid like ccbill..

People will always have a satancash like situation in the back of their minds..

Yes please

Yes, the encoded link codes were never designed nor intended to hide someone's identity.

They aren't "encrypted". They are simply encoded. It is not a secret manner in which they are, but rather a very simple & public manner. They exist to avoid having a lot of variables and a query string on your linking codes and to simply allow you to have /somecode/ as your linking code.

YES YES YES MOTHERFUCKING PLEASE!!! :thumbsup

thank you for reply, i just thought it may be nice if nobody knows where i am promoting my sponsors. now i find any nats link anywhere and i know in second who is owner of the account. not good imho but just my two cents, nats rocks!

yep and don't worry about the cherry, this would a great change!!!! So much easier!

What about security concerns? Does TMM become the middleman that uses an API to query each program, therefore seeing all of our stats on the way through?

no sugar please...

No, that is not at all the case.

That would be nice, you signup for just 1 program
and program owner knows the login from you, from all your NATS-accounts.

If the peeps are really lazy, they can buy roboform or someting.

Would love it!

Would also be cool if you could use your username and password to pre-fill the signup form for new NATS programs the same way CCBill does it!

I don't understand why people feel there would be security concerns. They'd be addressed by TMM ... it's not like it'd suddenly become a giant free-for-all.

its not a bad idea.. But a central payment system would be somethin more interesting.

Sounds like a great idea ;)

+1
i bet many beginning program owners would like to join that option as well. it should be like with ccbill - integrated paying nats programs will be paying for all signups in one check

Unfortunately a centralized payment system isn't going to happen. That would require either every affiliate program leaving a huge deposit with us (the CJ method) or all of the money a program makes from passing through our hands first (the CCBill method). Neither of these are going to happen.

IMO, the single payer method raises a much larger risk than the individual payment method. However, that is a bigger discussion and best saved for another thread. :)

Can you clarify how you are thinking of setting it up?

I don't want to get too into details at this point.

What Rowan was thinking was something more along the lines of statsremote/niftystats where stats would be retrieved and presented together. That is not what I'm referring to here (tho we do have something similar in the works). What I'm referring to here is allowing you to have one TMMid login which would work at all NATS programs. That's something totally different than what he assumed.

That's the very least of my problems with nats. Hell any webmaster not using roboform or some other system to store user/passes is probably an idiot.
I'd much prefer to get one payment from all nats sponsors if you could do that i'd be impressed.
