But it is better then what any third party processing is doing.
We are getting off base though... my reason for bringing billing was because you can very successfully offer a *coupon* to a website and still bank. Just need to do it right is all. So I don't agree with you that porndeals.com is a bad setup... I am saying that it is now in the hands of the program owners to bill that coupon correctly. |
If the Program bills the discount correctly and offers limited-time 'coupons' (as it were) then I agree with you. As I mentioned, short-term "deals" or sales can be very effective (especially through email marketing). But the "danger" here (as I see it) is the discount price becoming the norm.
Then what? Volume doesn't always go up when you lower prices. It's a tricky balancing act and I'm betting that most Programs won't have the savvy (or skill) to balance this shit. I just see overall devaluation coming but what do I know? My opinions often only apply to me. LOL
