Dayum a REAL industry thread!! These are far too uncommon these days it seems.
Bosshawg,
I agree, it would have huge and far reaching effects.
Yes the payouts to affiliates would be impacted
Yes the chargebacks would drop
Yes you could actually charge a customer X amount of dollars straight off the bat
Yes the sponsors would have to FINALLY (i'm not talking all but - most) have to give the surfer quality to get retentions up.
Here's an analogy for ya
you really really want to buy that jazzy new stereo system you heard about.
store number one:
four salesman come rushing at you from all sides
you manage to get down to business with one and start asking for the features you want
salesman slicks through the answers easy as snot and assures you the system has Everything including free asswipes.
you buy the system, long story short you find out it only has 1/3 of what was promised and not only that its not the quality you were told.
You look at your cc statement and see they charged you extra for the asswipe holder, the speaker wires, and the handy dandy box it came packed in. Btw you'll also be charged a monthy warrantee fee.
store number two:
the salesman points out all the features, anticipates your questions and explains straight up what is not included in the advertised prise, But goes over cost of adding in extras.
he's polite, pulls no tricks and they system you go home with is exactly as he stated so you have no surprises.
Which store would you go back to when you need that awesome new TV?
Which store would you recommend to your buddy at work?
Which store would get a returned stereo and/or a chargeback?
IMHO the medium to large sponsor programs that finally straighten out and fly right with the surfers will only benefit in the longrun .. BUT they'd do best by nametagging their sites (ie: another no bs, no scam, pure quality site offered to you from 'company name'). You'd probably start seeing search terms popping up for them within months! lol
I have to agree with Serge (OMG what am i saying!! lol) .. the industry has become stagnant.
Everyone is out for the most money they can drain from the blood sucking, bandwith stealing surfers.
Screw him before the next guy can.
Is that wrong?? No but it damn sure isn't helping the industry any.
oh and yes, you can hire my ideas for change hahahahhaa
