To sponsors selling DVDs and other shit in members area without paying affiliates
Your days are numbered.
There are some big companies who love to brag about their conversions, and retention. take a look at the member secton and youll see why you are not rebilling like they say. must be nice, just throw in DVDs that no one gets credit for, and sell products to members that no affiliate gets credit for - yet you brag about retention? the reason i personally have seen retention droop with a sponsor is because they are now selling DVDs from the member section. pay site subscribers stop rwebilling once they buy DVDs of the content. i am entering member sections for all remaining sponsors we push and pulling all links to people with upsells we do not get paid for. i suggest all of you take a look at your numbers and do the same.

i am not directing this at any ONE sponsor, although there are a couple I have in mind.
My partner brought something to my attention, i check it out, verified the traffic leaks and as I have been doing for the past 3 years - phasing out all sponsors who pull shit like this. the list is getting more narrow every year. the consistent marketing of DVDs to rebilling rev share members is not cool. sponsors will be removed, simple as that.

This post is directed at a few types of sponsors: but mostly ones that sell products to rebilling rev share members. I dont complain much about the PPS guys because i cant worry about the member section if I am getting a $30+ sign up, so yes this is about taking advantage of affiliates with rebills.

A lot more webmasters should pay attention to the members areas of some revshare programs, many guys are not even updating anymore.

or just send your traffic straight to the shit people upsell to in their members areas, which is much easier than trying to make money with someone elses paysites when that is what they are doing in their members area anyhow. Content is way overrated.

Upsells in members area's are standard:/
Unless the business model is built to just get members in, sell them the dvd's. Again... "Know thy sponsor", as a creed once again comes to mind. ![]()

The recent explosion of DVD content within membr areas is clearly not the same as upselling to a singles site, or personals site or cam feeds etc. I am talking about selling DVDs of the tour content etc. Big difference.

This thread was not started as a debate about anything. It was started as a call to people to look into the member sections of sites they push. I thought that was pretty clear. Quote:

This thread is kinda stupid..
DVD's sales, exclusively in the members area, does NOT make retention any worse, upsells in general do not change retention unless the site has tons of upsells. Sites that release new DVD's monthly will retain better and have better return on old members. I have been testing member area designs, upsells, dvd's, updates, etc for the past 6 years on paysites.. Retention is only effected by layout of site (if its hard to use) and the amount of updates the site does VS the price of the site and speed of the site. Period. You want to kill retention, check out how many sites only allow one video download at a time. (speed of the site)

Summary is basically they subscribe, watch the movies and unsubscribe and most likely never even buy the DVD's LOL ![]() Retention is a problem in the first place and the DVD's probably have nothing to do with it.

Sort of funny how internet is now going bricks and mortar to make extra cash.
I saw Lightspeed either discussing this or doing it and his retention is the highest I have, so keep it up if it works. ![]() |

Like I said though, we just made Homegrown so site, vod, dvd, tracks under one affiliate id to keep our affiliates happy. What other programs do it that way? I have yet to see one but admittedly I don't get out much...

We don't pay 60%, we pay 60% to webmasters, bandwidth, 10%+ to new content each month, plugins, galleries, ads, employees, etc.. The 40% profit margin we had is now 10%.. So bitching that we don't pay on DVD upsells is BS.. Its making us more cash so at the end of the day we can provide webmasters with more crap to push us with.

Paysites are about volume, revshare or pps programs.. The profit margin increases over years and years of being open due to the branding which we pay webmasters on so it's fair. Why do you think big companies have started to drop ads, employees, and all the extra BS.. More profit because the profit margin % isn't all that high, damn sure not as high as everyone seems to think it is. And the profit margin is about 10%, Max 20%.. companies that drive in their own traffic have a much higher %.. But we are talking about webmasters and not our own promos.

The point of this post was upsells / DVD's would change retention, which they don't do so bitching about having upsells and not paying the webmasters is just BS. We pay you for the sale to the site, if you want to make money on the DVD's then sell the DVD's through a different site. I don't have DVD's btw, sold out a while back, retention has never been better.. The more I update the better I retain the more webmasters make.

I was joking and being sarcastic, considering what his statement was regarding the DVDs not having an effect on the retention ;) I simply said my personal experience, as of now, I believe it to be related to DVD sales. The dvd sells are everywhere and its obvious in my experience. Thats all. And I encouraged othwers to maybe do a little research. Nothing wrong with that.
