one of the reason to have a programable api interface for nats data, you could pull id codes/data
you could even do cool things like showcase the highest converting galleries, rotate the most clicked thumb from that gallery etc.
and with an open interface you wouldn't have to wait for NATs to do it for you
there would be a plugin marketplace (imagine the increase sales comus would get if they release a plugin that allowed best converting galleries as a sort feature)

Now you're cooking with gas. :thumbsup

gideon, we are looking into a more detailed API system, but we have to be careful to not make it too open for people to build their own stats and allow things we would not want. It has a lot of pros and cons to it, but we do agree that the better the API, the better other programmers can add features to it and the more valuable NATS will be.

1) When using the mailing options that you can set a different senders address, rather than the main one that is set in nats for every mailing that we do.

2) It would also be great if we could cascade when ccbill give a hard denial, as when this is given everything just stops and the surfer is not offered another billing option.

3) To be able to add more than one site partner

show active amounts of rebills

easier ability to link blocked accounts in sparta to thier reseller, etc. rather then having to click on them all to gather such info.

Go cry about not being nominated for an xbiz award. BTW, the program you advertise in your sig USES NATS. Grow up and maybe one day you'll actuall achieve something in this business. And I don't to hear about your designs, they're horrible.

Nathan, can you clarify what you meant by this? I don't want to misquote. :thumbsup

Professional! :2 cents:

There's a lot of us on the board who are real business people, and have to take childish actions into consideration when shopping for a paysite solution. Might want to keep that in mind if you care about new business.

Think whatever you'd like. Most people here know me and know how I handle things. I've given up with Alienq. He's a child, he's has mental issues, he goes around to threads posting things such as he has. He's nearly to the point of a stalker. He's unstable and unimaginably unprofessional. He gets a bit of that in return. It's what he deserves.

I've seen his other posts, and although I don't know him, he seems to be the antagonist here. But you're a business person, he's not. Best just to ignore him, perhaps? I posted a LOT of suggestions/questions in an older (month or two ago) thread about NATS. Any luck on implementing stats to count join/cc attempts? Breakdown by processor?

I recall the thread. I'll have to let Fabian answer that one however.

Re: Alien; one can only be poked in the eye so many times. At this point he deserves some replies. It's not going to do any good as he'll never realize how people truely look upon him unless he gets some professional help. But oh well, maybe he'll think about it a bit.

I look forward to Fabian's answer :)

Regarding the other thing, don't take what I said before as a flame or something.. I'm just from mainstream and I think theres a ton of untapped potential in adult for things to become more.. business. And I saw NATS as something that was run as a proper business. Something I'd like to see more of. :2 cents:

Thank you. And I agree mostly :)

Adult does certainly need to become more professional and business oriented. And it will simply by evolving. One thing that bothers me however (and you'd be suprised how many times I've heard it) is mainstream people saying how they are so much more professional than adult people. There are a lot of professional people in adult and a lot of non-professional people in mainstream (online and offline). I've worked in both. If I was in mainstream and sitting face to face with someone I thought of as I think of Alien I would have no problem telling them how I feel and getting up and leaving. It would probably impact me less that way as there wouldn't be an audience to witness it as there is here. It's not so much a matter of adult vs. mainstream and professional vs. non-professional. He's simply a nutcase.

Haha, mainstream is no more professional than adult. And there's a lot more shady dealings going on, people getting scammed and the like. GFY et al are the only thing holding this industry together. The community, and your reputation inside it. Most people here are willing to help each other at great costs, which makes the potential amazing. Far beyond what it could be in any mainstream industry.

I want to see more accountability on sponsors and processors, and this is going to be handled by a software solution from a trusted 3rd party. I see NATS as the platform to enable that. So I only hope to coerce you into agreeing with me and executing it. :1orglaugh

Would like to see a feature where you can credit affiliates for all sites that maybe listed under 1 domain. When we used CCBills affiliate software on our movie pay per download sites we could credit affiliate for all sales made under 1 domain. For example we have some domains that sell movies on a buy per download basis. Each movie is seen by the biller as its own site, so to intergrate this for affiliates currently with NATS we have to add each movie download as its own site. Painfull as we have over 100 pay per download movies. This is my xmass wish list.

Rest of NATS is superb never looked back since day 1 :thumbsup

Hi,

what I am saying is that if we do a full blown api to anything in NATS, it would most likely be relatively easy to alter the display of statistics and similar things in order to defraud resellers. We have to be careful that whatever API we offer, we do not let that happen. This makes an API a little trickier.

That's important too!

what he said... and a way to contact referred affiliates.

Support for the following billing companys:
- paypal (yes yes i know)
- 2checkout (i also know ;) )

more later

Currently if a member joins the program and enters a space or dash anywhere in the ICQ field, NATS doesn't store any data after the space or dash, for example:

123-123-123 becomes 123

A very big problem for me not being able to ICQ my affiliates.

:1orglaugh

John, let me know when you guys want to hire a good PHP programmer. I've got an extensive portfolio.

you might want to consider doing something similar to microsofts product certification (coded for NATS) for plug ins.

dammm, you should sell such advices :winkwink:

that's already built in.

[ You currently have <number> active members ]

:thumbsup

All previous annocement e-mails sent to affiliates archived.

did competitive market analysis for 3 years. Focused on designing business plans that allowed people to catch and overtake market leaders in their field.

Specifically how to turn the strenghs of a company into a weakness.

I had to post just one more item to my wishlist which I think would be very benificial to everyone using NATS. You need something where affiliates can fill out a W9 form through NATS and then NATS can save that information in its system. That way we have everything on file for that affiliate making much less work for us. :)

I've had a problem with entering my address with several sponsors that use nats. I had put the street address in line 1 and the apartment number in line 2 but the check is printed with only the street address and it ends up getting sent back. The only solution I found is to enter the full address into line 1 along with the apartment number in line 2. I entered the apartment number in line 2 as well just for kicks and things seemed to work out. I should mention that a buddy of mine had the same problem.

My first guess is that the dump format they are using is not proper. If you could please email me the sponsors you are referring to (albright*toomuchmedia*com) or ask them to contact us we will be more than glad to help them get that fixed up. Thanks for the heads up!

Email sent :)

Can NATS do server side tracking apart from cookies, e.g. PHP sessions or IP tracking, etc. due to the increase of privacy products that erase cookies?

not sure if this is repeat but i would like if the "referrers" can be tracked by domains . Just like sextracker does , so when u look the results arent' 20 different links all over the place of different pages.

track fhg hits please. this would be extremely useful to both affiliates and program owners.

John can you confirm whether or not this will be fixed in v3?

good question!
