Also - I keep hearing posts about $10 drop per sign up. Its not that drastic and for the LAST time, this is not about sponsors squeezing more profit from webmasters. I'll post what I posted on Oprano.
Do you realize that sponsors profits have dropped 50% over the last 18 months? However, sign up rates stayed the same. Do you realize that the monthly price point drop is from $39.99 to $29.99 (25% decrease) yet some people are only lowering payout 20% ? That is another 5% 'increase' since sponsors revenues may drop by 25% across a number of months with the decrease in monthly rates.
susanna - I don't have exacts on the ruling from Visa. I also realize that this is NOT 100% about a Visa ruling. This is also about changing things in this business that never should have started. Luckily ARS doesn't have free, multiple cross sells. However, multiple free cross sells is bad. Free trials do increase fraud and worse yet $39.99 per month is just too expensive. All of these factors STARTED in an attempt to stay profitable and be very agressive and competitive in the market. Those of you who say "I'll just sit around and wait to see who stays at $35-40 and send my traffic there" are the BIGGEST contributor to this problem. Its that mentality that has caused programs to continue pushing the limit over and over to keep paying these absurd commissions.

Absurb commissions? People just want to make money after all, like you said in another post. If one company is going to pay me more for the same traffic, damn right I am going to send it to them.
You're a multi-millionaire paying these rates, so I don't think they are absurd.
