Hard as it is to believe, our motivation for actually staying honest is we have too much at stake to risk losing it on any possibly revealing code bug

We may not make as much as is possibele if we did shave, but our payouts are based on simple math. We always have made and continue to make profit and afford what we offer affiliates without risk of losing money.

In the longterm, this should help us gain more money by keeping more loyal affiliates.

However when I used to freelance, I've seen programs shave anywhere from 5%-30% and shave differently depending on how much you send to the program

People who think programs shave need to open their own sites and then they will realize there is no room to shave. Programs are doing everything they can to make your ratios better not worse. We want more sales cuz you know we convert.. NOT LESS
