As a very new program owner (less than a week), I would like to know what I can do as a program owner to gain the trust of the affiliates. I come to the adult world from the mainstream ecommerce world. To me, there is no gain by cheating an affiliate. Paying affiliates for what they do is a cost of doing business, just like buying advertising or paying your light bill. The only thing you can accomplish by cheating your business associates is damaging your reputation.

I can tell you as a program owner why I chose to go with NATS:

Because I have the same fears that you have - If an affiliate sends in fraudulent joins, gets paid and then suddenly I am struck with a great number of chargebacks and credits, it could cripple my ability to stay in business.

Because I only have so many hours in a day - The features in NATS that allow me to create the hosted ad tools, etc. saves me time. If i save time, i can do more. Using NATS gives me the ability to give my webmasters the tools they need faster, and managed in a way that is easy and flexible.

Because I don't shave - Now, I guess anyone can just say that, but it's just not part of my character to cheat someone. Your reputation is all you have in business. If you don't have a good one, you have nothing.

All that being said, if anyone is interested in signing up, feel free to visit the site at Frogbucks.com and I'll make you this promise: If we ever cross paths, be it in my hometown, at a show or anywhere, you are free to take a look at your account through my admin.
