Let word of mouth do its work. Stand up and say "this is how well our program converts, and here are this month's stats"... Use third-party billing/processing so people know you don't shave.

Hehe more stuff
We had it "toned down" we used to pay out only $32 a signup. You get the exit if you use the $29.95 per join signup page. We get it if it has trials. .. Know what? Webmasters did not care what the ratio was..They don't do the math they see $32 per join, don't care about the exits, just that it's not $35 or $40 a signup.
Even right now with a $35-$40 payout. I get e-mails every day asking if I will pay them flat $40 a signup if they send X amount of signups..Which I don't.
About shaving? If anyone thinks I shave I don't care. Signup for my site under your ID and watch the signup show up. I can't think of how many times I have told webmasters to do the same thing. If I had to shave I would close my program. I'm not some that needs a new super car or some fucking huge house. I have a normal house..As well as my partners. I have a normal car no super sport car. I love the money yes..But I have employees that damn near make what I do. I offer a nice office, great working conditions, pool tables, racket ball courts, a gym, a cook for the the employees meals, hot tubs, steam rooms, 2 big screen tv's.
Shaving is a way to hang yourself. If you think someone shaves sign up for the damn paysite and bust them. Real simple. We used to let I-bill do the payments and tracking...We changed and we grew 50 times larger.
I guess we must be doing something right as we still have webmasters that used us on the old largecash that was paid by I-bill.
