Hey innocent lovely webmasters, you want FACTS?

Ever used reccuring programs?

Why do they always convert 1 surfer out of 3-4 trials? Now, the standard member stay 3 months. (I'm generous - mix of SE/AVS/TGP traffic)

Try a reccuring no-shaving program:

You get 10 signups, 4 of them convert to montly membership, 50% payout.
Trial is $2.95 and monthly membership is $29.95

10 x $2.95 + 4 rebills x 3 months x $39.95 = $508.90

$508.9 x 50% = $254.45 in your pocket

Now, if PPS sponsors didn't shave at all, you make 10 x 35$ = $350 with the same traffic. I wonder HOW they can pay you the extra 100$ they didn't make.

This example is based on real stats, from a good reccuring program, with GREAT retention. The traffic was a mix of excelent and bad traffic. Overall, you got the best out of your traffic.

Now, let's say I'm a master of tgp, and send 10 trials a day to a reccuring sponsor. This traffic is NOT going to stay 3 months, and is NOT going to convert to monthly membership at the 40% rate. It'll be 20% and the average member will stay 1-2 month. Poor traffic is ALSO poor quality converters and members. Did you know that? Wow eh?

Ok, on the reccuring program:

10 x $2.95 + 2 rebills x 2 months x $39.95 = $189.30

$189.3 x 50% = 94.65$ in your pocket

On PPS = $350 hell yeah, wake up dude.

10 trial on reccuring is easy to get when you're a master of tgp. You need about 60,000 uniques. How many signup you get on PPS with 60,000 uniques? 2... 3.. let's say 2.7 x 35$ = $94.5

Oh, poor innocent webmasters...
