Well I think some of the programs should explain why the affiliate payouts being so high was a problem for their business model. I think webmasters are starting to get the wrong idea... that the programs have to reduce the join price to keep under the cb ratio and the programs are just downloading the cut to the webmasters. Thats not the reason that affiliate payouts are changing.

Would some of the big programs that posted here please do a good job of explaining this proper (I wont put words in their mouths)

As well not one person mentioned that a paysite has the DUTY to keep members and make em happy. I firmly believe that a program with more then 25 sites cant POSSIBLY have different members areas in each. I have been in lots of the biggies and each is just a clone of the next with the same big content (the important stuff like movies is just the same plug ins in all the sites) and you cant tell me that a surfer dude that signs up for a site in the same system (well fuck the members areas are so similar across the board) that they dont get pissed off and decide to charge back?

This has happened in the for women area in one program months back... so many chargebacks that it made it impossible to pay the pay per sign up model. They got inside the members areas and all but a small area was different... obviously a surfer is goign to feel pissed off.

The entire industry (except for a few select small niche sites) is based on GET THEM IN THE DOOR and hope they stay more then one month and throw the kitchen sink at them. No pride in providing the niche they want... no pride in providing unique sites. No pride in the members areas.

Members areas have to be worth it for people to say okay I had enough but it was worth my time.

and no charge backs

I challenge the big guys who have posted here to talk about their members areas too. 100+ sites? you cant possibly have unique sites and avoid surfer dude from getting into more then one of them and being pissed.
