1026 uniques for $485.19 on 5 signups = $97.04 per signup.

As you can see, my traffic is worth a SHITLOAD more with the second sponsor. Also the rebills grossly outweighed the PPS.

The original payout on the second sponsor was $74.75 but the 23 rebills off of it made it $485.19.

Now if I just looked at conversions, they are 1:587 and 1:256 respectively.

You would say that sponsor 2 is twice as good. But that isn't the case. Sponsor 2 is actually 6.92 times as good as sponsor 1.

This is HUGE were Lightspeed is concerned. Since his sites rebill very well and retain for sometimes years, you can see why just looking at uniques/sales ratios is not going to give you the big picture.

My rebills at Lightspeed are even or higher than my sales per month... That means everytime I make $14 and some change on a sale, I am actually making $28 since it will rebill atleast once. That puts his program inline with $30 PPS programs...

Additionally, if you have the right traffic, his sites convert themselves...
