With recurring at an all time low, tighter regs from visa/mc hurting a lot of companies with questionable billing practices, and the increase in pop up blocking software and browsers lowering revenue from exit traffic, not to mention the increase in fraud on the part of the webmaster AND the surfer, I just don't see it lasting forever.

My guess is that payouts will have to be lowered for the per sign up programs, and perhaps per sign up won't be offered as an option to new webmasters until they've sent traffic for a certain period of time.
Start them off in revshare and offer them per sign up only after they've proven themselves to be honest.

Your thoughts?
Well first of all, did you know that mojo ran the second pay per signup program ever run? freshteens.com which he sold off long ago.
Today, for some unscupulous sponsors, pay persignup is the only way they could be profitable (if you know what I mean)
Also, the way to solve the popup blocker problem is for ALL content to open in a new window. Force these free loaders to view pops and exits.
Guys with deep pockets will always be able to pull off the pay per signup model unless the CCs do away with reccurring billing.
fraud on the webmaster side is still a problem believe it or not. Some guys would get away with it because they have all of the pieces in place but give themselves away out of stupidity.
