More realistic I think would be a sign up bonus structured on hitting sales quotas.

Very true, all good points.
But still, sign-on bonuses are not unheard of in almost any industry. When everything looks good, that is.
It is hard to establish what is a good webmaster though, I think that is an issue for sure.
