I don't believe netbilling offers an affiliate program. So you'll need your own affiliate script, custom or off theshelf like nats or mpa. Paying webmasters isn't a terrible ordeal but can be time consuming. Though with nats or mpa the payout reports can be spit out in quickbooks format. So, its just a matter of importing the payout file into quickbooks, loading the printer, and then stuff the envelopes. Its a little more involved but thats the gist.

Another nice difference is no more waiting 2-3 weeks for approval on new sites.
You are absolutely correct on all points Joe. Thank you for being a valued NETbilling merchant for years now. We have started to have a large presence in the gay market as more and more owners have relalized the many benefits of having your own merchant account and utilizing a processor such as us that specializes in tha type of processing and call center services.

We hope to meet many of you at the GayVN retreat in LA next month.
