This basically depends on the type of surfer, fan or general consumer.

The difference we see between pics and vids are confirming that picture content seems more powerfull (conversion wise) then video content. If we would change to a full video site traffic would probably go up but conversions woudl be down.

Apples and oranges indeed.

Agreed, however the paysite model in its current form is dying (not dead). You can't get away anymore with some feeds and bi weekly updates. People want value for money and I can not blame them.

Overbilling as in Xsales?
Just a week or so ago I checked a joinform and notice in really nice fine print how the trial would convert into a 3 month $99 membership if you didn't cancell in time lol

Do the mathematical equation please ;)))

Totally agree. When people say Bangbros is not selling anymore due to being overpromoted I tell them otherwise. People recognize the brand and people pay for it. easy. Besides that this whole brand thing is something I truly love since its one of our main things we are focussing on here at FreeOnes

If you look at my program and see X% or $X PPS you won?t succeed for long. I believe this will eventually become true for all programs in the future. Gone are the days when affiliates sold a program, they will need to sell a product.

"As we knew" is key here, the affiliate model will (is) change for sure.
