"Seems to me now a days all fellas shave bigtime including fellas from ccbill - they can easily steal your signup as you know ... this biz fucked up toooo much already "


It's absolutely wrong and uninformed. We don't shave and I believe alot of companies we are doing big business with don't shave either. Unless you run a paysite and have seen the backend of things I don't think it is wise to jump to these conclusions. Before I started Twistys I was the first to jump out and say this sponsor is shaving today. Guess what? I was wrong. I was DEAD WRONG!

Here is a perfect example. We have an affiliate sending 7 to 9 signups a day. He's been very consistent over the past 10 months. Then on Wednesday he had no signups. 0:5600 after averaging close to 1:560 month after month. Now call me crazy but that looks like shaving if i ever saw it right? That's just the way wednesday was, a shitty fuckin sales day. Guess what happened Thursday? He banged out 15 sales. Same traffic. One day 0 and one day 15. That is how paysites work. When you own one you are absolutely amazed at the trends. Our sales can go up or down 30% on any given day with the same traffic. It is 100% how much our processors are processing for that given day.

All that to say, for people that want to assume every sponsor shaves... you are DEAD WRONG. There are many other factors at play that may be limiting your sales. Usually it has to do with yourself. It is easy to blame others but step back and take a look at yourself and how you are promoting the sponsor and WHAT sponsor you are promoting. 9 times out of ten you'll the choices and decisions you have made may be the problem.
