Email boxes? If you want PPS then you have to accept them. That's how they can pay by collecting emails and using popups since crosssells are basically gone. Check who uses them and see if you are still converting decently and if they are paying per signup deal with it.

If a revshare program uses them then I'd be a bit more pissed. I hate traffic leaks on tours.

I don't agree Ramster.

Having being involved in 2 PPS programs and presently running my own private program with multiple paysites, I know how easy it is to pay $30+ per signup with average retention, even on a trial. Email boxes are simply not needed.

Even with soft member emailings, an unchecked cross-sell, and moderate members area upsells I would be making around $47-51 per signup given an average retention on a $3.95 trial. Plenty of room for $30 pps.

Again these are my experiences with my sites with only around 11000 joins data.

Traffic leaks on tours are an unnecessary $ grab in my opinion, and thats all it is ... my opinion. Then again I am coming from a background where getting affiliates and traffic has been an uphill battle. If I was raised in the '96-'97 days i am sure my outlook would be quite different.
