It just might be that this aggressive marketing of surfers that was prevalent until recently,such as popup traps and automatic dialer installation and charging customers CC'S with their express permission is why the conversion rates for adult have dropped considerably in the last few years.
Regulations and scrubbing have been forced on VISA and other CC processors because of unscrupulous sponsors that went for the quick buck.
In a way it sems that we are all paying for the indiscretions of the past.
I personally think Maxcash should rethink their popup idea.I wanted to send them 20k a day but I had to remove the traffic I had to them as I don't want my visitor to become scared of clicking a link.
1. They don't have automatic dialer installation
2. They aren't charging CC's without permission
3. Pop up trap implies that they can't be closed... not the case, it's a pop up chain that ends.

Everyone has a different way of doing business. My opinion is that popups are effective. They have been around forever. People hate them YET they STILL click on them. It's just part of surfing porn sites. You get popups when you surf porn sites, that's what surfers understand. If you run a TGP or something similar then I can understand your un-willingness to compromise. You need to offer the surfer some sort of incentive to bookmark YOUR site and come back. The offer of "no popup" links can do that. But don't fool yoursellf into thinking that you'll convert better without popups. You make LESS pushing no pop tours period (in my opinion). But I'm not a TGP master so I can't comment on that traffic really and wants needed.

There has been lot of Credit Card issued etc.. lately and a lot has been brought on by people only interested in the quick buck. Maxcash is not part of that problem in my opinion. They run clean, effective sites that have EASY TO CANCEL forms. Surfers get great customer support with them just like most big sponsors. Few still maintain the old school make it hard to cancel philosophy. Those that do have chargeback issues.

So bottom line is that for most people Maxcash does well. If you can't push there sites because of "consoles" or other personal issues that's your right.

In my opinion Maxcash is one company that has it all together and does everything right.
