$500M affiliate payouts = 12 500 000 joins
1996 - 2006 (they say the $500M was reached over a year ago) = 11 years
That means:
1 136 363 joins per year
94 696 joins per month
3113 joins per day
Now that is AVERAGE for those 11 years, using that conservative estimate.
Back in the day, I KNOW the General's SexHit program was doing 8000+ joins per day AVERAGE, and MaxCash pre-dates them, and has far outlived them. I know other programs at times in the boom days for which a 10k join day was not an altogether uncommon event.
Old skoolers KNOW the numbers of the 90's and early 00's.
I have heard numbers from the mid 90's, the real early days, and they are simply mind boggling, even to someone who has been around since the late 90's.
I STILL get joins and here and there from MaxCash links in stuff I have done nothing on for 3+ years (except update link codes from time to time with search and replace). At peak promoting them 6-7 years ago (and they were never a primary sponsor for me) I was doing 5-10 joins per day with them, for quite a long time (2-3 years if not longer) and I was small fry.
Since 1996 they MUST have easily surpassed 30k or more affiliates that have sent them traffic at one time or another. That number may be way low even.
If 30k of affiliates each sent 40 joins per year average that also adds up.
I know NUMEROUS people who as affiliates who were easily sending 500+ joins per day to a program individually up until 2-3 years ago. Some still do, though not as many. But yet again there are many more 25-100 join per day affiliates these days than back then.
Congrats MaxCash. Onwards and upwards.

I do know the numbers of some of bigger companies from back in the day
I worked in those years for 2 of them, 1 private.com ok they're small on
internet and nowhere near some other big internet guys.....payserve or
back then primarily clubseventeen....perhaps not comparable to maxcash
in those days too.....but not that much less with the kinda of numbers
mentioned......you mention a few things that today are extra revenue options
that I have left out in my previous replies.....however back in the golden
years not all those options were available......and neither were prices and
payout rates as they are today........
Traffic volume was less too just as the amount of people with decent
internet access.....ok of course conversions and retention was a hell of
a lot better than now and profit margins as well but to get to these kind
of numbers....really seems a tat too much of what's realistic....but again
I truly hope that I'm wrong as I honestly have no problem what so ever
if indeed they made what they claim.........I'd be even ecstatic if it was
even double or triple of this.....nothing but kudos for them if they did.
The only thing I'm saying that I find it too hard to just believe to be true
just because they say so.......and that has nothing to do whether I wouldn't
be happy for anyone including them if they did.............
so you may dissagree with my opinion but don't imply with that as if I wouldn't accept or have admiration and respect for them in case they did....actually
I already admire and respect them for the time they've been around and the
way they were able todo so........I know they're amongst the quite select
few programs who've made it as far as they did..........
I'd just be happily shocked if these numbers really are true.....coz then they'd
done even a whole lot better as I thought they did........so it would only
impress and be excited with joy for them even more than I already do.....
I hope it's now clear......Me....Thinks....MaxCash.....Good!...... .Me......no....
have........cheap.....short.....reason........not. ......too......
I'd sign right now and settle for 1% of that......send contract to.....
