Mike - let me offer a piece of support. This is a cut and paste of a new topic I started on Oprano.
There are many factors involved in programs paying the high rate per sign up they do now. These factors include
$39.99 monthly charges
2 FREE cross sells per page rebilling at $30 to $40 / mo
there are other factors as well but its these factors in specific I would like to address.
Chargebacks occur for a number of reasons but a lot have to do with very high monthly charges. Obviously these prices bring in more money which allows a much higher payout.
In an effort to reduce chargebacks, free cross sells will become single micro $1 payments that rebill at a much lesser rate. Much more importantly monthly rates must drop from the rate of $39.99 to $29.99
Obviously this will drastically hit the top of line of many sponsors (those who choose to take the path of 'correcting' some of the problems in the industry. Because of this cut in revenue payouts of $35 and $40 per trial will no longer exist (again for that group of sponsors who attempt to make the proper changes)
Payout will drop below the $30 range. Also FREE trials (which ARS recently began offering) will no longer exist. These changes will take place in the coming days.
Webmasters use this post as for warning of things to come.
Sponsors use this post as a support for you to follow the necessary trends to correct an escalating problem over the last few years. Its time to fall in line or its time to fall out!
