I've spoken to several paysiteowner and models in private, that don't think this is a fair percentage.

Then they either shouldn't have an affiliate program as part of their business model, or they should simply offer smaller percentages.
Of course they won't attract as many affiliates, but tough shit if you're going to be a cheapass shortsighted idiot.
And I'm a dude. A known dude at that. Abby, however, is widely suspected to be non-female.

In the end, I look on my stats, and where the money come from and not come from. That what counts. I have some 3-4 years rebills too, but they can not match the total income from abby. Its not the rebills, its the site that convert. Directing traffic to another site is waste, because they dont have the same models. Rather spread it out...

As I said, spin it any way you want to, tell yourself whatever you need to. Fact is, based on what Abby posted and the reaction he/she caused in some of her paying members, some of whom were referred by AFFILIATES I might add, was way out of line and a very very stupid thing for a program owner to do. If you are happy promoting someone like that, well, what can I say? Lie down with dogs, end up with fleas.

Wasn't it Abby who first posted this nonsense? If he/she opened the door, tough shit if affiliate webmasters feel the need to go in there and set the bitch straight. The bed was made by Abby, so Abby best lie in it. You again look even more ridiculous by whining about it here.

Let's do some basic math shall we? If your referred surfer signs up for a year, you make a one-time payout of $75, correct?
Now, here's the thing..... if *I* send a signup to a good program that has a proper partnership option, and that surfer stays a member for even six months, I can make more than you right there. Some partnerships pay me 50%, or about $15 per.... but a few pay a bit more and have a bit more expensive membership fees, and I make more like $20 per. SO, if *MY* member stays a member for a year I would make as much as three times what you made of *your* member at Abby's site.
Tell me again how good the money is?
But hey, if you're happy that's all that matters.
I'm just saying you won't catch me promoting the bitch. I don't like what she had to say, I don't like the attitude shown towards affiliates, and I don't like the business model they operate. Obviously a lot of other webmasters side likewise, and are wise to do so.
Good luck to you though. Seriously.
