Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - Signups only paid if surfer stays 4+ hours

I simply can't agree with the concept of:

"Its not my problem if the sponsor can't retain my sale"

You and your sponsor are partners, if your sponsor doesn't make money you shouldn't. Your choice of sponsor should be geared not only to the payout, but the quality of their sites, especially with revshare, but also with PPS for this very reason.

Now that being said, do any of you have any idea the number of surfers who cancel before they even log into the members area, and lets not even touch on the surfers who know they are going to seek a refund or chargeback before they even signup.

If you cold sell the surfer or promise things that aren't offered by the paysite then you are handing the paysite a hot potato so to speak. You may argue that most people presell the sponsor, but I have to say that most affiliates don't do it very well, or over boast what a sponsor has to offer.

Im not a fan of the 4 hour cancel time, but if they have a quality members area (eg nastydollars have great members areas), then I can certianly see it as being a safeguard for the sponsor paying a very nice $35-40pps.
