Page views = impressions

Using that analogy, this thread had a low CTR and a very high value per acquisition.

However, the long tail value is even better than the immediate payout. That makes this thread a much better revshare play than PPS proposition. Also keep in mind every action in it was legal, and this thread had no negative impact on my bookmarkers.

*If you can understand that analogy and apply it to your own business in lieu of chasing your tail and grasping at straws, then this thread may be a profitable one for you as well.
