What is the standard shave % in this biz?
 

I would like to make a rough estimate of how much money I have been assfucked for the past few years

2-3 % ?

about 2 out of every 10 clicks gets redirected plus every 5th signup vanishes

enough

to much

0.000% :thumbsup

Hard as it is to believe, our motivation for actually staying honest is we have too much at stake to risk losing it on any possibly revealing code bug :2 cents:

We may not make as much as is possibele if we did shave, but our payouts are based on simple math. We always have made and continue to make profit and afford what we offer affiliates without risk of losing money.

In the longterm, this should help us gain more money by keeping more loyal affiliates.

However when I used to freelance, I've seen programs shave anywhere from 5%-30% and shave differently depending on how much you send to the program :)

well you guys pay 25 $ per signup ... shouldn't be too hard to acheive without shaving :)

atleast 10%

Exactly.....but some programs do shave on even lower amounts...

BTW our PPS is increasing to upto $35 per signup with the new site version out shortly (Revhare is increasing upto 70% as well and the two new programs are being added) :winkwink:

0%

Remember PiB cash? They were in the double digits. I hope that's not the norm.

My guess is around 10-15 %

any smart affilate program would shave based on how well your traffic rebills, and not just a overvall shave for all affiliates

Very high double digits. Brutal shaving.

They were shaving into the mid 50%'s on some accounts.

My guess is the sponsors that are here for the long run are a bit less gready.

the majority of PPS sponsors 30-60%

Do you really think shaving is that common? You would think some programmers would have already squealed on their bosses by now.

That's when they retire... whether they want to or not.

funny even if it is that high i still make more money with pps then i do with revshare

what a fucking stupid question

Depends on the size of the sponsor and also the affiliate's ability to send sales.

Our software shows our affiliates every single product purchased by their customers.

:thumbsup

since the bulk of my traffic goes to my own program, I don't have to really worry about shit like shaving. But I still worry.

didnt get any action from the kangaroo last night? :1orglaugh

You mean PPS? it's easily 60-80% :Graucho

bump for the shavers

30-60% IS A GOOD ESTIMATE

I like to shave to rigth about 1/16 of an inch. I like to leave just a little for you guys to see :)

2-3 times a week

People who think programs shave need to open their own sites and then they will realize there is no room to shave. Programs are doing everything they can to make your ratios better not worse. We want more sales cuz you know we convert.. NOT LESS

20 to 50% by my estimate on larger programs.

usualy 20-25%

You got to figure the more generious the deal the bigger the shave.Thats why if I did Affilaite programs I would only use ones with dollars.com , it prevents shaving and they have to preload their account so the money is there for you to get paid. I saw Rick give a demo in his office. Besides the tech mumbo jumbo the biggest thing is its shave proof.

shave or not, just send traffic to the program that makes you the most money

Yeah right...
