What reason is there to stay for 6 months in a row at 30 bucks per month? They can just come back in a few months and download the new stuff.

As far as your affiliate program tracking customers, it is a good theory but how do you track them? By name? Too many John Smiths in the world. By IP Address? If they switch providers or God forbid have dial-up that won't work. By there credit card number? Doesn't the average American adult have 4.5 different cards? I'm sorry, but PPS is still the way to go if you are an affiliate.

Well, as a personal ad site, everyone has a membership and every member is tagged in the database with the affiliate number if there is one. You're right, we couldn't do it by name or IP, but unique member ID works just fine.
