501 of 1500 sign ups coming from www - no way in HELL!!!! The check number seemed ok, a lil high but ok, and I'm not sure what foreign sign ups have to do with anything. If its a sign up, its a sign up. ARS counts 1st page raw and we credit on all sign ups except check (with a new option coming to get credited on checks for $35 per sign up instead of $40 for cc only). However, just like any revshare or other program you can not credit type in / www sign ups because they are not referred by a webmaster. Nice try on the spin!
Please rereview your own spreadsheet and rereview what I already wrote. You don't need to only credit 500 and some sign ups of 1500 to make it work. Sorry if my post seems a little abrasive but after very DEFINITIVE proof from yourself and my comments you still try to twist and turn this to show that "Oh yeah, I can see how PPS works if you only credit 1/3 of the sign ups" C'mon dude! PPS works well over $35 paying on ALL sign ups.
Finally PPS is the most widely used by affiliates for a big reason, it overall will make more money for webmasters. Even if you promote a killer 60/40 program - to compete with a $35 PPS program the overall member value of the revshare would have to be $58.33 and that would take 12+ months to achieve and without paying on x sells as well nearly IMPOSSIBLE in today's market!!!. Point being, it'll take over a year for you to get the same $35 that the PPS program is paying. Oh yeah, and don't forget, the revshare program owner is basking in the profits of consoles, upsells, x sells, emails and other income opportunities... Just because its revshare doesn't mean he is sharing ALL the revenue with you!

Marc, I stress I'm not here to argue but rather to discuss. To tell me 501 www/typein is BS is the same to call me a liar. I have no reason to lie. I pulled a random period of joins and disected the info. Plain and simple. Nothing more nothing less. I'm not calling you a liar either. Your numbers are your numbers. I take them for face value and assume you are telling us all the truth.
No one can tell me that my collection of sites is worse than any other programs collection of sites therefore that is the reason I can't offer PPS.
No one can also tell me that I am a rookie and don't have the knowledge to pull off a PPS program.
Numbers are numbers and will always be numbers no matter how you transpose them or display them.
There is no reason to say one person is BSing and another isn't. This is a discussion and not an attack on either model. I can't stress this enough.
I myself would rather be involved in these type of threads rather then the all to many "Would you hit it" threads : ))
