changes at ARS
 

good or bad?

its both, mr thumbs

bad

theres no such thing as both in this world :2 cents:

Changes are perhaps good in the long run, but I think ARS will lose some webmasters now, because:
1. many big niches like asian, ebony etc are not covered ( not yet? )
2. the default payout was reduced to $25 per su and the new sites may better retain members, but not necessarly convert better ( assuming scrubbing stays the same, althoguth...if the members area is better = less charge backs = hopefully less scrubbing )
Sure, there are other programs paying only $25 per su, like Gamma Cash or Epic Cash, but on the other hand there are still programs paying $40 per su.

interesting reflexion...

The 25.00 payout with the way their transactions are scrubbed to death is a joke.

Having current links that go to a "catch all" site which may or may not cover the site you're promoting is obviously not a good thing for webmasters. :(

But in the long run, I think (hope) it's a strategy that insures they are here for the duration. :)

I dont know, mrthumbs, time will tell. For me it's bad because they are going to remove the "direct linking to join page".:(

good start
next thing they should work on is the member's areas

Mr Thumbs, right now it feels like the changes are more bad than good... It will be interesting to see exactly what the champ system has to offer, but my feelings for it is not that good. So Mr Thumbs, I voted "bad".

thanks

You're welcome
