i could say the same about you if we were in grade 2

fact is i am honest and explained my poisition then and now and you obviously disagree , thats fine..

i have pushed about 100k to various cam sponsors this year so if that helps soothe your mind them cool ,if not then oh well.

i have never heard that from anyone but you so far.. infact quite a few peopel have said the opposite.. go figure

The first two sponsors pay out lifetime revshare (like every other revshare cam sponsor but AWE), and then there was AWE and its 14 day revshare. After 14 days, AWE and one of the other sponsor's earnings were very close, within $100. The third sponsor did only 50% of what the first two did. After 2 months, the second sponsor had more than doubled AWE's earnings and the third sponsor had now caught up and exceeded AWE by 10% as AWE's earnings came to a screeching halt at 14 days. After 4 months, the second sponsor was now more than 2.5 times AWE's earnings and the third sponsor was now 75% more than AWE's earnings. After 6 months most of the revshare had died, with just a few still buying. Now at the 9 month mark I'm still seeing some revshare coming in from those campaigns and the second sponsor is now over 3 times AWE's earnings.
i do hope you realise anyone who is serious in this game does the same thing , we obviously just have different results.

and other have tested and found the opposite

theres lots of other factors to be had.. maybe you don't promote them properly

Its only briefly mentioned in their terms(how many webmasters actually read that) and its nowhere to be found on their main promo page or FAQ page even though they seem to cover almost every other question. Even in this thread alone there are webmasters promoting them that were unaware of the 14 day revshare even though there have been multiple threads on the subject here.
completely agreed then and agree now
