        i hight doubt shaving is as widespread as some people would think, you would have to keep a lot of programmers happy so they don't spill the beans

              brand0n, I'd love to earn your business and change your perception enough for you to not have to use the word "everyone" in your post title.

                I shave every morning. I don't see what my shower habits have to do with sales, though...

                  long time ago

                  well a sale is not always $20, but with shitty paysites it barely reach that and the shave-o-metter goes crazy.

                      I honestly don't think all of them do, but I do think there are several that do. I KNOW of some that did/do...... lmao

                      But seriously, I think there are probably more than we think that do shave, but I don't think anyone respectable would pull something like this and risk getting blasted, and we ALL know, if you do, you will get caught sooner or later.

                      Believe it or not, there ARE some out there in this industry that do run an honest business and can't even get their heads around cheating anyone. ;)

                            I make $30 per sign up with Naughty America (revshare of course) and I can guarantee you there is no shaving.

                                Yup, I know exactly what you mean.... but I'd rather be poor or not AS well off than to cheat anyone. I kinda like sleeping at night....

                                        I could only hope that most sponsors, at least the big boys don't shave.

                                            I wish it was fake. This is a screen capture, and no I will not tell anyone where it is from.

                                                I pray for the day that the DOJ busts some heads on shaving.

                                                Time to go sacrifice yet another goat, maybe tomorrow the gods will answer my prayers.

                                                  I found it funny that a few of my really old sponsors, ones that I had just let the rebills run out over time on, had shaved me my one remaining rebill a few times. It's like you have one lone rebill month after month... then suddenly one month goes by and no rebill. You think "that's it, no more cheques from that sponsor".... then the next month that lone rebill is magically back again. :D

                                                  Shaved!

                                                    i wouldn't say all of them do it, but i'd put it at about 80% at the least. if you even look at it logically, when sales dry up on one particular sponsor for nearly everyone at the same time, are the odds in favor of all the surfers quitting buying at once from that one sponsor, or the sponsor is just shaving a little harder. obviously anyone with half a brain can see that thousands and thousands of surfers don't all get together to conspire to make your ratios double for only a limited amout of time.

                                                      I can just about count on one hand the number of solid exposures I have seen over the past 9 years. So assuming there are people from time to time who have real evidence, they must either think it gives them an edge of some kind to keep it to themselves or else they are too scared to show it. Either way they help the thieves keep operating and sit back while webmasters go on getting screwed.

                                                      Most shaving complaints aren't near as clear-cut and if one ever looks like it might be taken seriously, the sponsor usually has enough friends, etc to come along and rubbish whoever is complaining.

So assuming there are people from time to time who have real evidence, they must either think it gives them an edge of some kind to keep it to themselves or else they are too scared to show it. Either way they help the thieves keep operating and sit back while webmasters go on getting screwed.

                                                                            Most shaving complaints aren't near as clear-cut and if one ever looks like it might be taken seriously, the sponsor usually has enough friends, etc to come along and rubbish whoever is complaining.

                                                                            yeah, listen to jayeff he is a "stand up guy"

If you aren't tracking outbound clicks against your payouts and using that as your only barometer then you're not really doing your job in looking after your income and protecting yourself against shavers in the first place.

                                                                                CC processors have a lot do with it too... I've seen that myself, one week you get a lot of sales, the next week you get half, and I know for a fact that that sponsor doesn't shave... Whenever someone sees a dip in sales they always jump to conclusion that it's shaving, when in reality most of the time it's hardened scrubbing on the processor's end or some other issue...

You are told from the first time you get in the industry that everyone shaves so when you finally get your own program and vow to run it honestly and it starts working and earning money without it.. theres kinda a half surprised feeling that you're keeping everything covered and paid out and a proud but resigned feeling that you're not making mega amounts of free cash. You can almost detect the tone behind some of the posts from some small/med program owners... (because they are less likely to use reps) or at least i think i've picked up that vibe.. whether it's just my imagination or not.

                                                                                    Even though i still expect most people to shave, it's not until to run your own program that you realise it might not be as widespread as you think and there probably is a whole bunch of legit people out there doing ok...

                                                                                    Plus really I think there are a bunch of people that value their ratios and would rather use low ratios to get more webmasters and more money rather than shaving for it.. also the fact that getting caught even just for one single solitary shaved sale would fuck your credibility up forever in an intangible industry where almost all you have is the value of your word.

                                                                                        I can pay out $25-30 on $1 trials all day any day on my program Wildcash.com and there is no shaving required, just a well oiled machine that took me 2 years to master.

                                                                                        Shaving is overhyped, cause if your shaving peoples sales then your sites aren't going to be converting for them so great, so they will stop promoting you. Thats a simple fact.
