I'll have to side with Kristen on this - and if anyone wants to argue with Topbucks about how PPS works (or should work), then good luck.
If fraud isn't involved, then PPS means you get paid per signup. Its simple.
I've been charged back from PPS programs and its no big deal, but I drop their links ASAP anyway. Why? Because almost all PPS programs (and I get a username/pass before I promote them) either profit from x-sales, or have numerous upsells in their member's areas.
Many sites hit their subscribers with an upsell as soon as the surfer enters the member's area - before they see any content. Most pay sites have - at least - cam and dating upsells. Profit from a membership site does not end at the initial sale.
If you offer PPS and deduct for refunds or CBs, you fucking better give me a share of your member area upsells and cross sales.
