>>>>quote1begin<<<<<Dear Webmasters!

As of today TIBS's new USA route is running and work better than before!

Details of the new route are as follows:

Rate to customer will be $1.49 per min, YES just $1.49! Because of the MUCH lower cost to the caller
<<<<<quote1end<<<<<<<<<<

up to hear it all sounds nice but now

>>>>>quote2begin<<<<<<<<<<<<<
we will however have
to reduce the amount we pay to you. For now these calls will appear in the stats as USA per minute. This route is exclusive to us and we declare the cost fully in our
disclaimers, and as such we hope this route to be both permanent and stable for a long period ahead. In order to achieve
this stability and prevent damaging chargebacks no customer will be billed for a call less than 2 minutes and as such a call
must last over 2 minutes to appear in the stats.

We believe that making the call cheaper to the user is the only way to go now for USA traffic on a long term basis and it's
easy to see why:

On a hold time of lets say 10 minutes at $1.49 the average user will receive a bill for $14.90. We believe this is far more
likely to be paid by the customer than the current situation where that same call costs from $49.99 - $79.99. Would you pay
a $60.00 charge for 10 minutes of access?

The rate we pay will be $0,20 but because access will be increased by us not using a 900 number (on average only 1 in 4 of
users who attempt to dial a 900 number are able to connect) we will all earn more money than before!

Uh-oh. If this keeps up dialers might become a legitimate form of income in the US. That's horrible. Full disclosure and realistic rates? *faints*

But surfers like being charged $7/minute, didn't they hear?

There's an optimum most profitable price for everything and sometimes you have to lower the price.

I advertise GUBA.com and when they raised the price from $10.00 to $14.00 I made a LOT less money even though my pay per join went up from $5.00 to $7.00. At least with my shit traffic, $10.00 was closer to the optimum price than $14.00.

I noticed the same, cut the joins down big time. I remember initially they tried to keep the payout at $5 while upping the price to the surfers and everyone had to bitch.

Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. At least I got a geeked out "gigantic usenet binary archive" shirt out of it.
