quiet, because it is all about the minutes, who has the most traffic that can get the most minutes. When you get paid by the minute, then you have to worry about how many of them you get........ a normal sponsor, you get paid a flat rate regardless of how much time that surfer stays on the site or how long it takes him to get off. With Dialers, you are after the ones that will stay on the longest and get the most traffic. More traffic means more exposure and such, and so on and so on. AND well... I could go on for hours and hours.

Not to mention it is relatively easy for just about anyone to become a reseller in this game. MOST all Networks that I know of make them sign a contract to become a reseller, however, with the medium we work in, it is very tough to decide who is going to run off with the money and who isn't and you know how nasty that can get. We screen them the best we can, but how well can ya screen them when you can't possibly meet with them face to face? We are all pretty much blind and have to deal with people the best we can on here.

Then you have the new guys that are very much eager, and most very capable, of running their own program, but they are new so they do things that the ones of us have been in it for awhile, have grown out of so to speak. They spam, piss people off, and then have to basically start all over to gain respect again. Not to mention they see this as a fast way to make alot of money, so they sometimes don't realize how very hard it is to start this late in the game and have a large webmaster based list of people that will use them. Therefore, the proving themselves again comes into play. This person wants all the people they can, so they jack their rates and say "I can treat you and pay you better" and this and that.

I could go on all damn day, but I think this kind of gives you an idea of where I am coming from. There are MANY many things that factor in here........ and THEN we could go into all the things where alot of people think dialers are unethical so therefore the people that run them have just got to be unethical as well. It is just a whole snowball and recycling of hell that goes on that unless you are involved in a Dialer program as a Network owner/operator or a reseller, you just simply can't understand the hell that is involved in it. I am not saying any of us are better than the next, but when I say Dialer People are a whole different breed of people, this is exactly what I mean.

Bottom line? It all comes down to the minutes and who can get the most in whatever way they can get them.

GOD I hate babbling. lol
