So with this customer, i would have missed out (IF USING AWE) on spending totaling $590.52, so i would have lost (in my pocket) about $150 minimum if i was on a standard 25% payout with any other cam system.
I make most of my $ from clients after the first month....they step up their spending, they don't step down....EVER....
AWE such sweethearts : )
Oh but they do release the information in their terms of service.

You're exactly right, how many webmasters actually read the terms when they sign up to a new sponsor. Revshare has always meant "for the life of the customer" to webmasters when it comes to cams and AWE takes advantage of new webmasters by just calling their program "revshare".
Your stats clearly show the power of residual income in gaining a "lifetime" revshare customer, however some webmasters promoting AWE are still convinced they are making more with their 14 day revshare when in fact they are throwing money away month after month.
