So yeah, I've seen the rebills drop like flies too. But it's still good enough for me not to switch to PPS. I have a bad feeling that before this year is over...Claudia-Marie's site is going to become my biggest money earner and end up dwarfing my affiliate income. If you'd told me that two years ago I would have said you were crazy. |
It is not just the economy making people tighten their belts, but the contraction of the consumer credit markets. A site membership is a small indulgence and a lot of SpookyCash site members were perfectly happy to continue paying monthly, but their credit cards were turned off or their limits were slashed, as the banks paid themselves bonuses with our tax dollars. I believe the customers are probably telling the truth on this because I had my own primary credit card frozen the day before Xmas by BofA and I know my card was in good standing and I'd been their customer for years.
