Why does topbucks websites offer surfers free pics?

Why does topbucks offer the surfer free pics by e-mail? I hate that shit I'm trying to sell a membership to one of there sites like Iteens.com and when the surfer goes to the site they get a popup offering them free pics by mail.

To me that just makes it that much harder to sell a membership to one of topbucks sites why would the surfer join if they can get FREE pics by mail? I noticed that you only get a popup ad when you go to one of there sites with your ID in the URL so you get credit for a signup but if you just go to Iteens.com without any ones ID number you get no popups.

Uh huh, and how much you want to bet that they sign up for that email, it comes loaded with banners and come-ons for signups, and NOT one of them gives you credit for a sale.

You just gotta love shit like that...

This is just a thought (obviously). Actually, it's a piece of text come to think of it:

Maybe they are using the email list income to subsidise the payouts to webmasters...? Maybe if they dropped the email collector, they would need to drop the payout a little.

It used to piss me off more than what it does nowadays when I see that sorta thing. Ultimately, I have to make a decision based on how much $/click I make. What *they* do with the traffic doesn't matter to me. Money does.

My words. Times are hard here in adult business. Topbucks pays $40/trial, so they have to make the as much as possible from the traffic. I hope only they won't start with consoles CJ like silvercash.

Yes, you can actually get back to your site from theirs. It is a really small box, and I am sure it does not get filled out that much. I would rather have the box and $40.00 than no box and $35.00. As far as I can tell - they have the highest payouts for the lowest trial amount and good conversions.

Does anyone else offer $40.00 on $1.95 Trial sign ups (I really do not know the answer - it is not a rhetorical question)?

I haven't seen them - but they may be out there. They always pay me on time and they are my best sponsor. Almost every sponsor makes money somehow that you do not get. They do need to make it somehow. $40.00 is pretty darn good. I do not know how many of mine convert to full paying members, but I just don't see this being that unfair.

I know other sites have the ability to pay more, and some of you may have special deals, but here are mine:

MaxCash: $4.95 Trial and I get $26.25
ARS: $2.95 Trial and I get $35.00
CE: Free and I get $40.00 if the Surfer stays which happens to me less than half the time - so it is less than $20.00 to me
TopCash: $1.95 and $40.00 no matter what

So I get more money for the surfer putting out less money? Makes no sense to me - but I am not going to complain. They can keep their box up - I convert better with them than any of the other three I listed.

Uh huh... before I dropped them a few days ago, I was converting 1:9000.

My new sponsor is a 4free program, and I'm doing to equivalent of $0.09 raw.
