The real facts
 

After long years business and research i'm able to put some estimated stats.
And here are the facts what happening with our affiliate hits sending to sponsors:

10-15% getting lost by proxies, cookie filters, bookmarks and something like that,
10-15% sponsors redirecting to third party sponsors like mobile traffic, country filtering or popups,
5-10% scrappy sponsors we never get paid

with rest about 65-70% we do sales and happy :2 cents:

Think of it like this. If every single surfer who saw your free samples and went to the site and eventually bought. Payouts per sign up would be a lot less.

Your saying that if every single surfer who went to a free site ended up at the advertised paysite and bought a membership payouts would be smaller? So if you had a ratio of 1:1 payouts would be smaller?

I would argue it would be just the opposite. The more signups a site gets the more rebills/upsells etc they will get. The more they make the more they can afford to pay per new member. If nothing else it would make recurring a more attractive option which should also make you more money.
