Have you ever noticed that the companies offering these high payouts on signup use their own software to track? I have.

perhaps its because relying upon a single processor is a sure fire way to fuck yourself. would you really want to sign up to a per signup sponsor who made you sign up to 8 different processors and every time a new processor was added you had to sign up for that one in order to keep getting credit?
customized software has so many purposes aside from those you seem to believe:
1) cascading billing - not possible without custom software
2) effective fraud detection - not possible without custom software
3) switching processors on the fly - not possible wihtout custom software
those are just the 3 biggest processor related items, you could also point out that most processor stats suck the big left nut. detailed reporting, intuititive interfaces, useful information, good summary stats, rewards programs, useful support interfaces, and having everything all working together, integrated and working in harmony?
we've spend nearly 6 figures now developing our own back end, not so that i can secretly shave you, but so that i can run a program that is actually competetive.
as you get bigger, you'll find that the only limiting factors on your success are your designers, your content, your wallet and your program software.
sorry for the rant. but i have spent an inordinate amount of time, money and effort to build what you just called a "shady way to steal".

First of all Hooper that statement wasn’t directed towards anyone in particular. AS for the extra perks you’ve mentioned in your email, today most of large third party processors are offering all that and more. Check it out.
I’m sure that you’ve spent tons of money of innovative scripts to track affiliates, legitimately bill customers and provide your own customer service. When I do the numbers, based on what I have, it’s worth it for me to use them and I have at least 3 merchant accounts of my own.
The main advantage is switching processors on the fly. You’re right, if you have a program that protects your webmasters this way then good for you.
I’m not sure why you thought that I as pointing a finger at you and claiming that You- hopper offered a shady deal.
Bradshaw, I assume you’re one of the 10 people that have a clue? Of course you’d say that but in that statement you confirmed that what I believe to be true is.
