They will still rather send traffic to another big boob site or mega hardcore site like 2 000 others on the market, that offers them unrealistic PPS, and fucks its surfers and them in the ass in exchange.

Affiliates should rethink their business the same way as the pay site owners, if they want to keep making money.

They always shout how the ratios are gone to shit etc.,

BUT if you offer them:

- a unique and exclusive product
- guaranteed payouts
- revshare on a paysite with daily live and exclusive content
- where you constantly try to stimulate the average $ per sign up and make more money for BOTH sides

THEN they either don't care and send it to another xsell / carder clusterfuck offering 70 PPS, or they get GREEDY and want you to match some PPS or higher your revshare,

How about applying simple maths?

How about figuring out what the average $ per 1000 uniques means?

Ok, in my case it's a pretty new site, many promos need to be added yet, many probably want a reference about the numbers from others, therefore I'm planning a massive offensive around May yet, but this indeed happened to me already.
Spot on and totally the truth.

Relentless is right that we need more unique sites, sites that give members more, better and that keep developing. The problem is for every affiliate moaning about Tubes fucking our business there are half a dozen affiliates sending traffic to sites that do the fucking in another way.

As you point out they give the member nothing more than they absolutely have to and spend the minimum they can on it. Then spend as much as they can driving traffic to it. People ask if content is saturated when it's so cheap it has to saturated to sell. Then they don't buy the more expensive because it too expensive. You can't have both.

Yes now everyone can point out the handful of sites that don't do this and then call me a fool.
