Gregtx: Let me respond to this and your other post...
First of all... there is not some sort of special numbers mojo that people need to know in order to run a pps and there is not some sort of lack of knowledge required to be a successful revshare... if there is make sure to tell Lightspeed he might want to pack up his bags and go home.
I have seen the extreme inadequacies of PPS first hand. I know many of the companies that are on the boards acting like it is the greatest thing since sliced bread are not doing well financially today yet they cling to the notion that PPS will somehow return them to their former glory. It is not going to happen.
The numbers just are not there. I know how to convert traffic. I know what upsells do or don't work. I have great conversions and outstanding retention. There is nothing so incomprehensible about PPS. It is all about the numbers, and the most important is the bottom line. Do I want thousands of joins that put me under due to chargebacks and other inherent problems like negative cash flow? No.
We are all about slow and steady wins the race. We are doing very well. We started the year with having to maintain a site with thousands of members that we were NOT getting paid on. We still kept those members happy while we relaunched. And we are doing better now in less than a year than we did in almost 5 years with someone who claims to be the best pps out there.
2005 will be the year when the smoke from all the hot air clears and people look at what is really going to make them the most money.
(Remember... I am not a revshare fan either so don't typecast me that way)
Finally... why would I want to retire? I love my job!
