So you are saying that after you sent a surfer to a paysites' tour...which means you did your job...and then the paysite itself has such good content and a kick ass tour that THEY get that surfer to not only the first page but the SECOND page of the join (which means that this person has now made the decision to join the site YOU promoted and is now basically becoming a member of that site)...
You're saying that you think we as affiliates should be able to reach our hand out and "share" in the backend profit of the paysite?
Well, I don't. I don't think I have any rights to that money. And I don't think the paysite owner has any rights to make me have to split the cost of a DECLINE if the surfers card doesn't work. Or the extra $55 that the bank will charge the paysite if that surfer does a chargeback.
We don't have to "share" in all those expenses including the processing fee of 6 to 7 dollars a pop. So why the fuck should we "share" in the backend profit?
That's just insane. And yet typical for the drama of this board.

if they advertise a revshare program as
50% of all sales or rebills and I join their program on the
revshare terms they set out by themselves, yes, I should be getting the percentage on all sales! Otherwise they don't get my traffic, or at least not as much as they could. There are a couple of programs that do share upsells and xsells. They do very well for me and I put more effort into them.
I don't care if they have a link section in their members area to generate more sales from. They can keep that additional income. But if their main business is to sell other sites because their own site has a great tour but virtually no content the affiliate should participate in this because he was promised a revshare!
I see that this has become a common business model, but I simply don't like to be fooled by programs who do not live up to their promises!
Regarding the emails ... I think if people miss the xsales in the first place they will not know that there is email waiting for them in their inbox, so when they finally check their mail it might be to late to cancel. That aside, many email providers will sort out such emails as spam. Since the consumer does not know where the email is coming from they don't even have a possibility to white list the sender.
