You can't, it's why we held back on our sales. If we wanted, we could have sent 500 sales to them that month. That's $75,000, much of which they wouldn't have gotten back. That's a huge chunk of change for a tiny startup with only 20 live cams running at a time.
The highest I've seen are PussyCash promos ($125) and Cams.com ($105). PussyCash has an incredible system with hundreds of girls live at all times. They're also well established, know how to get the most out of the surfer, and can afford the promos. Cams.com charges a much higher rate per minute than most cam companies (not to mention has a huge company running it). There is simply no way a small startup can afford to pay large affiliates that rate when starting out (unless they are backed by millions).
They have a nice site that will convert well. I won't deny them that. But their cam network is small and still being developed. With only a handful of cam models online, there is no way they are going to see large rebills and make back that $150 promo. Not to mention the cams don't work in FireFox, which you won't find out till after you've signed up (I think FF marketshare is around 16% these days). It has potential, which is why I don't know why they go with these huge promos they can't afford. They could just offer a standard $30, or even a nice revshare, and we still would have promoted them and seen what they could do. At least this way they wouldn't have banned many of the top cam affiliates out there.
