There is a lot of truth to that. We had one affiliate who had his payout set to a 100$ minimum, he send two joins, and after a few months ? he got a check. Those 2 joins were worth over 50$ a piece and one is still rebilling.
What PPS program is going to give you $50 per join?
I went to the State of the Industry seminar in Santa Monica a few months ago. They had a great panel including Lenman, Mike Price from Silvercash, and Tony Morgan of NatNet. They were talking a lot about how much less of a profit margin is in running an affiliate program these days because of diminished exit traffic, Visa regulations, smarter surfers who cancel quicker, and spam regulations.
In a nutshell, they said the days of the $35 PPS on a trial may not be here for long, but none of the major sponsors wants to be the first to ?step down? and look like they were defeated.
We do plan on doing PPS, but it will likely be a $25 payout on a trial.
