this is still going

PPS makes money

Rev-share is for programs who don't have a large members database or finacial backing. And yes I know there are exceptions to everything

Like I said the program that can pay the webmaster the most at the end of the day and profit will do very well. it doesn't matter what payout model is.



that said webmasters who want to make more money call our 800 toll free number.

Alex: I am not using icq these days... do you use trillion perhaps and would be able to use my im? (hgtimlake AT hotmail.com)

Sorry to be a pain. I could also email you a phone number if that would be more convenient. Been wanting to meet with you for a while so glad you asked btw.

No pain at all : ))

Look forward to talking to you.

Roger, please don't take this the wrong way but without showing a bit of how the numbers work your last post just comes off as hype and posturing for a sales pitch.

In my example, you would bleed the rev from a large member base faster than you would grow it. Also, what is "financial backing" is that like when an owner has to take a salary reduction to make sure the affiliates are getting paid rather than lose face by missing a payout? Or when an investor is called upon to ante up more for shares to cover overhead for the month? (without naming names... both are real life examples of pps program genius at work btw)

Marc De presented some numbers that made sense. I think your commentary would benefit from the same details.

everyone's math is coming out different it seems, but you have to count xsells,mails,oneclicks,consoles and etc

It's a very competitive industry everyone has there long term goals. Why I don?t want to post numbers is very simple there are some things I?m not willing to share.

I helped many programs that are doing very well right now on PPS and created competition for us thinking it would be reciprocated. I learned my lesson.

Like I said those who can payout the webmaster more in the end gets the traffic. Very simple.

To answer your question yes sometimes you have to take a pay cut to gain webmasters I'm not looking to get rich I don't mind sharing the wealth and living a normal comfortable life..
I don't need millions

BTW my mother is going to launch a rev-share program next month
to compete with the 10000000's of others. LOL

From what I hear the average retention in this industry is 2 months now is this true?

Plus what I really meant was you don?t need much capitol to start a rev-share program but with PPS you do so the chances of them paying out more are more likely.

I?ve seen companies with both models go broke. And I?m sure everyone?s numbers look different depending on there overhead and location of there operation etc.

BTW we offer Both plus PPC/ Pay-per click

Whatever it takes to earn the traffic, I?m game even if I only profit a dollar of each transaction. Because I?m looking to stick around for a while and Branding is very important to me.

Don?t get me Wrong there are many Rev-share programs that are doing great I just haven?t had much luck with any of them.

And I think that?s why the larger programs only send to PPS because of the way the trials are structured and for some reason convert better and make us more.

I think it?s because most rev-share programs don?t have trials and are more difficult to convert. At least that?s what I noticed with our traffic. Which are SE, mail, exit and a few other resourses

You need capital to start a PPS program to cover the months of being upside down (paying out more than comes in). You do this because it takes 6+ months to break even and then earn profits.

The beauty of revshare for many sites is it takes zero investment outside of your site to run. The processors cut the checks, the processors provide the stats, and if you ask me that is just too low of a barrier for entry.

Exactly what i said.

This goes to show you can't make more on rev-share then PPS http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showth...=1#post6231890
I would rather get paid on a PPS trial program up front
then hoping to make the same amount with a rev-share program in 3 months.

PPS pays $20-50 on a trial.
Rev-share pays $10-15 Most of the time rev-share sites don't have trials

what do you think would convert better a full price site or a site with a trial?

I really don't care becasue we have all options LOL

Rev share programs don't have trials?....that is a new one to me and I have been around over 7 years. Shoot we have trials....lol

Actually with our own internal traffic we send to full joins rather than trial joins and actually convert just as well as we did with trials.

Think about what you just said. Do you really believe that on a 2.95 trial versus a 29.95 full join, ratios would be that much worse?

Here is one campaign of ours for full joins today.

Joins: 33
Ratio: 1:282
Dollars: $981.64

I would have had to do ~332 trials today to make the same amount of money.

Bottom line is if the surfer wants to join your site, he will regardless of a trial or not. Remember, surfers are spontaneous and want to get off.

It is all about the content and how it is presented.

never contradict Roger.... he knows everything.

but on the other hand, wow... what a concept. Give them what they want instead of 40000 crap ass sites that ain't worth a nut hair.

:)

yes, true.

btw I think we forgot one important thing, all sponsors claimed to pay 12-15% fees, but dont they have merchant accounts? What are the fees then? 1,5%? Its almost nothing. Even if I look at my fees now, I could buy a nice house soon with 1.5% fees just from the bonus income. Damn. :)

Just waiting for approval on our merchant account and it is actually 4.85% plus 20 cent per transaction.

just checked netbilling and 2000charge and they ask 1.5% + 15 cents per trasaction. Or did I read something wrong?

I totally disagree and I've tried just about everything to see what converts the best.

I'm not saying your wrong but i disagree from our own experience

Netbilling had an interesting thread about just that. Something they have to do boosts it up to about 5 or 6 percent.

What are you saying we don't give them what they want? have you ever seen our members section. go back to posting. if your being a smart ass.

this should tell any type of webmaster what type of program they should be promoting. http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=410533

i guess everyone has shitty content LOL

Either option doesn't bother me because we offer them all so rev or PPS I don't care. But what I do know is the big traffic webmasters mainly send to our PPS.

Havn't you seen our paid trial program all the sites are full price then reacurring is only $5 a month.

To be honest I really don't care now everyone has there own opionion or experience

Good luck...........

thanks for the info, I guess I have to wait for the search function to find the thread :)

It's a fuckin' miracle they ever get to the members area.

I don't understand. what you are trying to imply.

Are you having another break down? What do you do in this industry again?
so all the gfyer's understand where your coming from.

LOL

what do I do?

I make people like you rich.
Not you specifically of course.... :)

Really who have you made Rich?

I just saw why you got into a piss match with me. you got hired to whore Jason and alex's sig

you're a sharp cookie....
you got me. I'm a cheap sig whore.

so how do you make people like me Rich again. just so everyone on GFY understands. not to be a dick I just don't know.

you really have no fucking clue who I am or what I do.... do you.

Nope.............

that's okay.

wouldn't help you if you knew anyway.

interesting. the answer i thought I would get. :1orglaugh

your right I do know everything...

Let me help out here. He is only one of the best designers (IMHO, is the best)
and builds sites that sells...Even gay ones too....LOL

I don't know. Amp and I see eye to eye when it comes to marketing a site.
The guy knows what he is doing and there is no bullshit about him. He is organized and even though he is in Maui and we are here in San Diego, I always know what he is doing and what he has accomplished for the day.

It is just a pleasure to have him working with us.

Hope that helps : ))

sorry we use Eroswebmaster and Quashe who i think are the best.

Lets have a contest you pick your best site and I'll do the same
we let everyone promote them and we give the best converting webmaster like 3k on top of what they made with us?

or something like that. I love contests and challenges might be the only way to resolve this argument.

Quashe & Eros are good. :)

To be honest I havn't seen your work or maybe I have and didn't know it was you, either way I was responding to a thread becasue i didn't like the negative post about PPS.
I wasn't talking shit just stating my opinion. you got personal

If you want to continue i have no problem I'm bored right now.

on the contrary... it was never personal. Just business Roger. :)

Roger, I bet you don't remember calling my studio, or even talking to me.... do you. :)

check your phone logs....
I'm sure there aren't too many calls to Maui.

I don't. Did I offend you or something? are you sure it was me or Dave?

What gets me is I have never talked shit about anyone or fucked anyone in this biz. yet people still get smart with me sometimes and I'm not going to let people insult me or Pornkings in anyway.

Seriously? What a discovery you just made, everyone offering trials must just be INSANE and love giving the shit away. How could we have been blind for so many years? You better make a press release about that so we can all see the light and get rid of ALL trials since they are worthless :)

Sorry, I'm picking on you too much today and its not really in my nature... Just bustin your balls a bit :) I mean no harm!

no, not directly.... and certainly not personally. But things are always relative. Like I said, never intended anything in here to be personal, it's all just business.
"I'm not going to let people insult me or __________ in anyway..."
Me either. :)

but don't dwell on it too much. We should all relax more. Life is short.

Marc De we must be the only ones who don't get it. not only do we payout a lot we also are stupid for sponsoring and giving back to the industry. I forgot its all free

We don't know what we are doing. lets just switch to rev-share

I'm actually honored that Marc de is busting my balls....

I don't take things personal. No harm , no foul : ))

I'd actually like to meet with you in vegas. You have a lot ot offer. I'm not even sure you know who I am other than one guy from JasonandAlex.com.

Our other company always did well with your sites Marc and to be honest so are your new ones. You have to be doing something right for us to continue to push your product.


Let me add this Marc, you have to admit 1:282 is not bad for sending to full joins. Trust me, we know what we are doing and have been doing it for years : ))
