Webmaster Referrals...
 

Do you prefer getting a flat rate or a recurring %?

recurring % please

Recurring is better

depends on the program i would assume.
DUke

oh yeaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! :thumbsup

After all these years getting thousands of referals....

I prefer getting the $ up front, to be honest. The rebills run out pretty quick you'll find when it's 5% or 10%.

True, and to think that people join don't necessarily keep the links live of that particular program up forever

recurring :)

exactly.

out of a thousand referals, you'll get a half dozen or maybe a dozen people who actually send traffic.
Of that dozen, you'll get maybe 2 or 3 who actually get sales.

To get one of those 2 or 3 to actually make decent sales? it's a shot in the dark.

You're better off to get the $100 upfront, because those 2 or 3 affiliates won't make you much more than that, if that with recurring.

Sometimes you get lucky and get an affiliate who makes you a grand or more... I've had 2. That's it. Out of thousands and thousands of referals.... it's just not worth it.

If I got $100 for every affiliate who made 5 sales or more, I'd have gotten LOT more in referal $$ than I have.

one reason i started promoting sites with large up front referrals :)
