then their big sponsors (who make most of the signups) are on 8-10% , so the profit margin declines again. A large chunk of those signups are then trials $1-8. Add to that the time of day those transaction numbers came in and how it would fluctuate during other times of the day, if the day was a holiday/weekend.... the number of new sites online...of affiliates changing from other sponsors ....of sponsors changing processing pages.... a lot of variables there to consider.
Then you need to wonder if the member ids are only increasing by 1 each transaction.
Then of course, old recurring members don't get issued new ID#'s...so theres a lot in the background you don't see.
Add in staff costs, servers, bandwidth and such and you MIGHT have a rough figure ;)
Who's confused now?
