I am not pointing the finger at anyone in particular. Take a look at the board, it's fucking everywhere. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY blows a promo out of their ass unless they are looking to increase traffic. Maybe it's for galleries and pages that will hang around until the end of time, maybe it's because they intend to shave sales.
Claiming that programs have no clue how to shave is moronic, and it makes you sig look even more moronic than the statement. Shaving is a part of this business, we all know it. It happens daily. Not all but many. Who fucking knows. maybe all.
And the ONLY fucking time shaving "rears it's ugly head" is when it's caught.
EDIT: 500 posts for moi :P

Fluffy made some good points but there are others as well.
Some companies do promos in order to attract people to their program. If you try their program and it coverts well for you you might stick around after the promo is done so they get a new affiliate that makes them money.
Also companies make more than some would think off sales. There are cross sells, up sells, pop-ups, cancellation deals, selling of emails and things like that which help affiliate companies get close to profit paying that amount.
Also some companies wait it out and wait for that small number of members who will stick around for months and months and months. Those guys can really pad your bottom line.
