The average revenue per join has decreased over the past several years...

Pop up income has decreased as well...

Processors scrub harder than ever...

But the amount of money paid per join has stayed the same.

Somebody is getting the short end of the stick.

I'd take whichever paid the most for my traffic at the end of the pay period... An honest $25 is no better than a shaved $35 if the $25 offer converts like shit...

another one is consumers are much much smarter and know how to cancel right away, which def limits those rebills that used to be soooooo much higher. if you can't keep those customers those 60 dollar payouts will put you out quick.

some people are ok with fucking the surfer to get back the money the program just paid out to the affiliate for that customer, but if you're in it for the long run you'd better know up from down. those days of 3 or more prechecks and banging peoples cards to death are over. consumers know how to fuck you back now a days.

That's kinda insulting.

We're at $30-$35 PPS... and wouldn't dream of shaving.

We just happen to have confidence in our ability to retain.

If people want the quick money, they're welcome to it, ya know.

D, you also have a bottomless supply of exclusive big cock interracial content with the biggest cock in the business!

So, yeah, I think you may be exempt from the blanket statement.

But unfortunately, there's waaay more programs that are paying the higher payouts and shaving than there are programs that aren't.

Of course, and I really want to nip this in the bud before 7 more people give this standard answer.

High payouts from programs that shave are only artificially high because that's what attracts webmasters who don't know any better.

At the end of the day, those $40 pps sites are still only paying out $15-$25 a join if you factor in the joins or clicks that magically dissappear.

A bad converting program doesn't pay. That's a given.

But all things being equal wouldn't you rather promote a company that you know is going to give you $25 or $30 bucks a signup rain or shine instead of one that says they are giving you $35-$60 but they are shaving clicks in a way that really gives you $15 one month and $25 the next?

Yo do have a point there...

Still, why the hell would people do business with people when they feel they're being stolen from?

That's never made sense to me.

You have no way of knowing who shaves and who doesn't so all you can do is send the traffic and track the results... A $25 startup proggy is no less likely to shave than a $35 high volume proggy...

As you get older you get a better idea of how to spot a chick that knows how to fuck. It's a natural ability that just develops with time. Sometimes you are surprised but by and large you just know.

Same goes for spotting programs that are shaving... or even might shave... vs ones that don't. The longer you stay in the game the more you know.

There are a couple of large programs that don't but some should be fucking ashamed.

What a great marketing ploy that would be - lower your payouts to $25 and say "hey we don't shave" when you weren't even shaving at $35. So the affilaite just gets screwed out of $10 a join and that is pure cheddar to the affiliate program - but you sold it as 'honesty'.

hahahahahahaa

Dollarmansteve, i have an open invitation to PPS programs regarding shaving. You may want to take the challenge for the aff.program you work?

Legally authorise me to use some of our employees and companies to do test signups on various accounts over a timeframe of 3 to 4 months, record results and make them publicly accesible afterwards. I'll refund any money involved on this.

for the record I've posted this challenge here a couple of times, no PPS program has accepted it so far.

There's no challenge to accept. Besides being a publicity stunt there's no reason why any sponsor program would 'accept your challenge'.

If anyone wanted to 'prove shaving' they could go ahead and do it without the involvement of the affilaite program.

Hmm...

a) I would say that average revenue per join has been stable over the past several years. I suspect that programs who relied on memberships longer than 3 months to make money are the ones who are noticing a change..

b) We made more money from exit traffic in the past 12 months than ever.

c) I would agree with this statement

d) I would say that many programs are charging monthly rates that are way too low, 24.95 - 29.95, when $39.95 has been a historically profitable price point while still providing value to the surfer and having little affect on conversions when used in an aggressive low dollar trial membership model.

If any PPS program would have to resort to shaving it is only because they are unable to properly monetize their traffic.

Shaving is the stupid person's solution to mismanagement of traffic and signups. Any company with any clue what they're doing can profitably pay $35 per join.

We pay $35 tiered to $50. We can do this without shaving because we know average members will spend 10x more than what we payout. These days it's all about conversion. If you shave you are lowering your conversion and you will lose your webmasters to the next guy.

i guess it really doesnt matter to me then. i usually know how much $ i should make off so much traffic. i usually will send to both sponsors but send more to whatever sponsor can make me more $. the only ones i truely trust for not shaving is the ccbill only sponsors. i only have a few really good sites i promote thru it.
