Whats the scale ratio ?
Hey Alex,

We chose to put the Pay-per-Profile in place immediately and wait on the Pay-per-Email for few reasons:

1 - We want enough time to see how the traffic from everyone who promoted our $2.50 promo converts....Many if not all of these people typically promote pay-per-email with other sites, so we feel that if we can build our scale where it will make these people more money than with others, they will be happy and send it our way.

2 - We are discussing doing something 'innovative' with Pay-per-Email and it's typical sliding scale. This hasn't been finalized yet and discussions are still going around about it.

3 - We didn't want to shock all those people getting awesome conversions with Pay-per-Profile, by switching them to Pay-per-Email (where conversions will be worse, as people have to confirm their email). Pretty much everyone I've spoken to is happy with the 50 cents deal, as it makes them the equivalent of $2-3.50 on other Pay-per-Email programs they've tried. The affiliates who weren't happy with this, were people who sent quality traffic, in which case different deals were agreed upon.
