i dont think very many people realise this , nor do they tout this as a reason for the 14 day cookie as far as i am aware
how often do pornsite revshare sponsors keep paying out on upsells and cross sales after the original membership has been cancelled.. 
the simple fact is they are upfront about how they operate, personally i think the 14 day cookie is stupid and i think calling a program revshare with 14 day cookies is foolish to say the least , why not be innovative and create a pps + 14 day rev share bonus.
as far as i am concerned as long as they are upfront about how they operate and they aren't doing anything illegal/immoral all you do is add up the cash at the end of the month and compare it with the same traffic pushed elsewhere.. |
I am not saying they are scamming people. They are upfront with what they are doing, there is nothing wrong with that. I am discussing this type of method and why I think it is shit.
You get someone to signup to livejasmine for the first time, they see your ad, you "sell" them, and they make an account. You get credit for 14 days. The member buys $500 a week in cam time, so you make your % off of him for 2 weeks. After that AWE makes the money.
1 month later that same person hits another AWE affiliates site, he doesn't click on anything he doen't signup to AWE again, he gets a "cookie" set. That affiliate didn't sell him, he was just lucky enough for an AWE affiliate who was already a member happen across his site. So now for 14 days this affiliate will make his % of that $500 a week the member spends.
The second affiliate did NOTHING to deserve to make the money. Just getting someone to your shit doesn't mean shit. You should be rewarded for selling people not for getting people to your site. There are a million ways to get people to your site. Hell the guy could have been sent there from skim tgp traffic. If the second affiliate got the members to "sign up " again with a new account then I coudln't argue with that. But from what has been explained to me, once a member is signed up, all you need to do is get your cookie on their site and you get credit for 14 days.
This rewards people who just push traffic and don't sell. And it hurts the people who are bringing the new customers to the company by only rewarding them with 14 days of income.
I don't know how anyone can argue that there is anything good with this system, except for the people who cant make sales but can push traffic.
Im starting to repeat myself so there is no point in me replying. i just don't get it and i guess i wont.
