so you're saying they're paying affliates 100% of what they bring in?
In the golden years revshare was 30% affliate 70% program. Programs
were able to do a lot of own traffic they depended less on affiliates
billing rates were higher....bandwidth and hardware too. Anyone who
seriously believes there's a lot of programs that do $100 or close to that
after expenses before or after tax probably also believes in fairy tales.
Yes there's programs who did extremely well and a LOT who did very well
including MaxCash I don't doubt for a second.....but seriously these kind
of numbers are just unrealistic for almost every company if not every.
I don't want to sound envious or like I don't want this to be true as honestly
I really would be nothing but pleasantly suprised if anyone could be so
successful....I wish MaxCash would really have made this.....but apart from
that I find it just too hard to believe.
No doubt MaxCash was amongst the most successful programs back in the
day, not THE most successful but defenitely in the top 50 at that time
but that's not enough to make me believe these kind of numbers. And any
really successful program owner I doubt they'll dissagree.
The Golden Years were really good times I don't dissagree but come on doing
on average in all the years at least 100 Million dollars in gross revenue a year
is something they only dream about........I'd be happy to get proven wrong
I honestly do.....and since they apperently don't keep it a secret because
they're happy enough to announce they shouldn't have a problem to show
some stats or other black on white statement that would back up the
numbers they're so proud and happy to announce to us publically.......
I'd love to see I'm wrong......It would really make my day when I have to
apologize and publically admit I was totally wrong.........but without anything
to back it up......I'll stick to my opinion which is.......Nice try but too nice
for me to believe to be true..........please prove me wrong...I'd love to
see you're not bluffing.....
