When i join a ccbill program I mainly prefer to get at least $15 initial profit recurring as an affiliate for a signup and this is mainly what I look at.
I also like to see the following (if it helps)
- At least 50% split (after any processing fees are deducted)
- Minimum Pricepoint around $29.95 (to get $15 profit)
- Cookie length at least 7 days (30 is better)
- No major traffic links (links page, clipsforsale, uncredited links, etc)
- direct ccbill linkcodes (personal preference)
- NO TRIALS (on revshare, I want min. $15 for a signup)
- Updates at least every other week, minimum monthly for rare fetish.
- No consoles without credit. (traffic leak)
- No cross-sales on revshare (hurts rebills)
This is ideally. I can be pretty picky, I know.  Hope this helps.
Forgot to mention. A $99 option (not default or the only option) for 6/9/12 months is also highly preferred as well because I know often surfers will go for it and on a 50/50 program this is $50 in my pocket as an affiliate. |
No-split is from the Program's perspective - meaning if there is 'no-split" the program pays for the processing fees. So it kinda depends who "you" is. Me is both - sometimes an affiliate, and sometimes a program owner.
Price point of $24.95 at 60% is $14.97 without splits - is that clise enough
.
I wish every program would set cookies to 255 days - the max CCbill allows. I think some just leave the default and have no idea what it is or how it affects affiliates.
I hate traffic leaks - I'm an affiliate too
Not 100% sure I understad what you mean by "direct ccbill linkcodes" but I assume that the program links directly to ccbill and not to their
own stats. If so, I agree.
Never did like trials on a rev-share.
Updates should be a minimum of bi-monthly
and I agree on the consoles
But I'd like to see proof that cross-sales hurt rebills - I've seen no such correlation but I can't prove it doesn't hurt them either.
I am, however, convinced that up-sells (within the same program) help rebills. Give the customer access to all of the sites for an additional $6.00 - and they have more content to wade through on a weekly basis - thus they stay longer.
IMO
