Example: We offered 100% Revshare in the summer, and many people "didn't believe" it. They thought we would make no money so we have to be cheating. (In reality, you know there are many ways to make money; also our offer was 100% revshare on the signup, then normal % on the rebills).

Also, I would say monthly promotions work better than single-day ones. Otherwise you only boost your traffic that one day by the people who send to the higest bidder ...

On the other hand if the results they get are appealing and they enjoy the whole sponsor as a whole, then the money used in such promotions is well used!
