So much Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah.

Rev Share or PPS is all meaningless. what matters is the $$ that hits your bank account.

This relies on one thing, your ability to drive good traffic and monitor what the sponsor is paying you. And yes I'm also a sponsor and an affiliate.

Unless you know the hours worked X traffic sent X signups X payouts, everything else is BS.

Yes the site may sign up 1 in 50 hits, but takes all day to get 50 hits, you earn $30. It may sign up 1 in 5,000, but gets 5,000 hits and hour so you earn a lot more.

The only thing you can trust is to see the size of the checks and the number of hours you work to get those $$. You could work all day for a program that does everything but wipe your arse and earn less than a program who thinks you're a professional and expects you to do the work.

Do you follow my drift?

The only thing you can trust is the honesty of the sponsor and his desire to get and keep getting your traffic.

$35 per sign up on every single sign up is impossible. Think about it for two minutes and you see the problems. It cost money to run a site.

Hosting, software, hardware, content, design, offices, staff, affiliate tools, PROCESSING, profit etc. The average spend on every single sign up has to be $70.00 or are these sponsor telling you their costs are 5%?

The average surfer will get bored looking at the same site for two months, it's the nature of porn and his search for the stronger porn "HIGH". Add to that the narrow track of some porn site. How many times can a guy jerk off to different girls getting into the back of the same van and going through the same routine time after time?

Plus what is different with 90% of the sites out there. We sell porn, if it were truly exclusive it would not sell, it's variations on a theme. Boy meets girl, girl fucks him, or at least drops her panties. ;) Every single site out there has 100 similar sites offering the same porn. Yes different girl, sofa, panties combination but still the same porn.

So how does it work?

Simple sign ups from affiliates and non affiliate sign ups ratio is the key.

We increased our ratio to 60%, this months it's a promo 75%. Do we offer $30 PPS or do we keep it at 75%?

How can we afford it?

After 6 months members are returning to see the 540 pieces of NEW and mostly UNSEEN content we've added to the site. Show me the EXCLUSIVE site doing that.

Moral of this story is.

CHECK THE SIZE OF THE CHECKS.
