And with certain affiliates asking for a bigger cut of the pie lately (not mentioning any names lol ) it would seem to me that it only hurts your business to pull the curtain back on every way there is to make any money.
I'm a guy who after paying billing processing AND the affiliate only makes $8 for a sale...which I then have to use to pay bandwidth, production costs etc., I think that maybe if a cash program is able to adjust their pricing for different markets and make an extra dollar or two it shouldn't be an issue to an affiliate who always makes their money.
I just think it's bad to talk about all these subjects on here in front of all these surfers. It makes them feel cheated. Even when they are not. It would be the same as if you went to buy a car and paid $50,000 for it. You felt good about it...then after you paid for it the car salesman jumped out and screamed: "You are an idiot! It only cost us $10,000 to make that car and you could have bought it across town for a thousand dollars less!"
Of course they don't do that. And neither should we.
I can't speak for other cash programs or websites. But the paysite I own gives a great product for the price to the surfer. Fuck...it's half the price of a tank of gas. And the only time I make ANY money is on a type in. My affiliate sales net me 8 dollars for every sale. Meanwhile you make half of the gross every time. I think we are more than fair.
Shouldn't be crucified for trying to make more than $8. And as I understand the CC Bill geo-ip set up....it benefits you as well because you make half of whatever price it is. So if it's euros then you are profiting even more as an affiliate.
We haven't turned that option on yet. But that's only because we've been so busy. But we will.

I assume you are talking GFY surfers? Cause we didn't put that on our board our selfs, they wonder about it them selfs and this isn't the first time it is brought up on our board.
Just wondering if paysite owners get questions about these things basically.
