On top of that, the actual %age of around 5% for most people out there, and you already lose 30% ... at $1.99 it will still be 17.5% lost to billing right away.

At a normal growth rate that anyone big will want to achieve, you are likely looking at another 5% because of rolling reserves (after the first 6 months of 10% until the old reserves are being paid back).

So 22.5% for $1.99 or 35% for $1. Nobody out there is going to run this if they have to pay affiliates 50%... I for sure will not... I can buy traffic much much cheaper for this than paying affiliates 50%... paying $50 pps I would see no problem with though... Possibly more after testing for 1 year.

You summed dat shit up perfectly. Bravo my friend!
