They come back a few days later or even a week or month and then go straight to the paysite and bypass Your affiliate links completely. The paysite gets the signup, but you do not get paid as an affiliate.

This has Always happened... but its more prevalent now as:

1) Pay sites have fucked over members in the past... great tours, but shitty content on inside

2) Pay sites have fucked over members by trying to upsell or not let them cancel

3) Surfers are overall more savvy and understand overall search better and they do some basic research before buying in to a paysite.

4) Porn surfers are desensitized to porn to a degree and they no longer buy spontaneously.Sure there is still a Lonely, Drunk Jeff on a Friday night that buys immediately. But this is no longer The Norm.




Also----As time goes by.... many people cancel a paysite they love.... They will routinely join again after 6 months, a year... or sometimes even several years. This is a known fact as I have talked to several popular paysite owners about it.
Good point. I always liked that Pimp Roll used "hard links" with your code contained that carried from page to page so if the surfer bookmarks the site and comes back they use your code as it is still in the bookmarked URL.

As opposed to cookies and your affil code vanishes soon as they enter the site.

There used to be lots more progs using hard links that carried thru the site.

So kudos to Pimp Roll. Only one I can think of that still does that.
