Amazon buys a product and resells it. Once it's sold, they have to buy a new one to sell. A paysite sells non-tangible goods that can be sold as often as a surfer buys a membership. Sure, you always have to update the content, but 50% as absolutely normal for mainstream non-tangibles as well, not just for adult.

That's the worst case, sure, but how about all the people you can mail, selling them memberships to other sites, motivating them to join your sites again even after they cancelled, selling them a fleshlight, some penis pills, etc. You can work with this list a porn buyers forever.

Affiliates don't make a bad cut, but on the other hand, it's not like owners are the poor starving guys only working to make their affiliates money, since the money isn't just in the initial signup or the first few months a member stays...once they cancelled for the first time, it's 100% your profit for any and all future transactions.

They'd want to because the number of adult affiliates making a program as much money as PR0 is very small. There are gazillions, but 95% will send a sale a month or less. For really huge programs like ND, it's the pure mass of affiliates, but for the average program it's maybe 10 guys making them the vast majority of their income.

Ummm, how about fuck you I'll say whatever I want AND there are hundreds of programs out there who share the revenue on every single penny my traffic brings in, so I'll choose to promote those programs and not the ones who try to add revenue streams on the sly that I don't get paid for.

Also, there may be 10000 bazillion webmasters out there that they can take traffic from, but I promise you every single one of these programs would line up to take my traffic if it was offered to them.

I have owned a program in the past, will have another one open in the near future, and on both of them affiliates get paid for every cent that their traffic brings in. That's the right way to do it no matter how much the program owner wants to whine about their "overhead"

mmmmkay?
