The fact is that ANY site we run on our network on an affiliate basis that peforms worse than 1/500 gets dropped immediately. YES, our traffic is expensive. BUT that's because it converts very, very well for quality sites.
I know most of the biz is used to only being able to buy shitty, poor-converting TGP and link list traffic. We're the exact opposite of that. Feel free to ask around. Or just read some of the posts that have been made in this very thread. 85% to 90% of our monthly business comes from repeat customers. There's a reason! |
This is where I see a flaw in judgement. You are not thinking from the customer's point of view... you're thinking from your own. You're basing it on what YOU make from your partners. Why the hell do I want to break even and pay YOU what YOU MAKE on this traffic? I want to make a profit, and I want to make that profit NOW, not in a month from now when rebills begin. The days of paying $35 to $50 per join are grinding to a halt. You'll notice that even Maxcash has stopped paying the flat $35 per join they used to pay, and are now paying "$25 to $35 per join" (see
http://www.maximumcash.com/0407/pay_details.php). Like Maxcash, I won't pay $35 to $50 per join. Ever. It's not worth it, for reasons to numerous to go into.
Think for your customers, and not yourself. Otherwise just keep sending to programs that you're affiliates for...
