Affiliate program growth

[Evil Chris]

I never meant for anyone to get so defensive in this thread.

I would however, like to point out something that has maybe been missed in all of this. Purely using CCBill's affiliate system rather than your own independant system is limiting your program's growth. You cannot use any other processor. Your hands are tied.

Not once did I say that one program might be better than another based on any of this. The question here is about growth and flexibility.

another huge reason I went with NATS. CCBILL is fine, although I think their fees are over the top. Because of that, I hope to move away from ccbill in the future to a merchant account. I was billing several hundred thousand a month in mainstream, but getting an adult processing merchant account with an american bank is more work than it's worth for a startup (you cant have a webcam, you cant have this, you cant do that, etc) so unless you are doing $100K plus per month in adult with a 1-2 year track record, you move into something like ccbill. But I also want the flexibility to provide paycom and other billers so that sales are better, affiliates are happier because sales are better and my girlfriend doesn;t leave me because we have to move into a cardboard box.
