Gonzo I can certainly appreciate what you are saying about growing pains and Marie wrote something about that on PR today but there are two things that really bother me about NATS even before I heard that they had access to affiliates private information.
1. The first was the overly aggressive way the main man defended even the slightest criticism of his programs. To me that was totally unprofessional and completely unnecessary and made me wonder why he found it necessary to trash anyone who dared question his program and
2 Several guys who I respect in this industry and who carefully count every outgoing click found that somewhere between them and a major sponsor who used Nats a large proportion of the traffic they were sending was disappearing.
There was no hassle before the sponsor changed to the software but after the change there were some days when up to 90% of the traffic they were sending was not being counted.
Of course, after seeing everyone else who had a doubt getting slammed, they said nothing but simply changed their traffic to another sponsor who was not using NATS and once again those hits started being counted.
Thats just .02 cents from somebody who is no more than an interested observer.
