Do you think Visa will eventually stop recurring? - Page 2

basschick · 2005-03-21, 02:56 AM

if visa stops recurring, we'll advertise our sites on the join page like this:

"No more worries about seeing charges on your credit card bill month after month - our site only charges you for the month you join. No recurring billing here!"

and guys who were nervous about rebills will join. it all balances out in the end.

The $35 flat payouts from sponsors would surely end. They would have to move to a revshare model. I like revshare. A lot of people don't, so they'd drop them as sponsors. I see few people taking the time to send out a new cheque every month to renew access to adult sites but I could be wrong.

Signing up is an impulse thing. The wife is out shopping. The buyer is sitting in his work den alone. The credit card is in his back pocket. He's feeling a bit randy. By the time the sponsor gets the cheque and enables access to the site(s) the buyer has already satisfied himself with the lingerie section of the Sears catalog and may have lost interest.

So you're a 'heavy player' who has never heard of that board? The only thing heavy is the layer of grizzle on your spam.

I make more money off of recurring each month then I do off of pay per join.

Recurring rocks since your bass of incomes grows each month.

The trick is to find programs that actually recur.

ClickBuster · 2005-03-20, 03:48 PM

Actually many sponsors out there have good recurring sites, the problem is how to get in the line

The big webmasters have already occupied many available positions, so the question is where to get that virgin traffic we all need

When a promising sponsor cames up it get quickly saturated by the *playas*... and old BIG sponsor were saturated long long time ago... However, if you have the proper content, traffic and tour - you can sell the site and just live from the rebills. However, there're some exclusive cases

for instance - reality sites... bigsausagepizza - how da fuck am I supposed to make a free site from it, when the content gets quickly overused and there just ain't more of it??? I should start shooting my own series? Fuck no!

Maybe you could start speaking nicely to your pizza delivery guy and see if he'd be interested in earning some extra tips

I would expect Visa would remove the grace period before they disallow recurring. Although, they could easily strike level 3 accounts from recurring, but, I think there is farrrrrrrr too much profit there for them to turn their back on adult. Aside from the fact that Visa says they are fighting fraud, they make money off those penalties. And, small transactions tend to go through more easily than large purchases, keeping a credit card user's balance closer to the max. That of course generates more interest.

Amex just did change the grace period on their Optima and bank-branded Amex cards. Turn in your American Express card for a NEW MBNA American Express card that charges you interest from the date of purchase, all while we decide to charge you $75/year for the privilege. Thank you, but no.

basschick · 2005-03-21, 09:36 AM

hey, raffi - what are you doing up so early?

RawAlex · 2005-03-21, 09:42 AM

Raffi, you look so good recycling threads from another board... slow news day?

Cleo · 2005-03-21, 09:47 AM

He did go over there and start a hello thread today. I guess he figured that if he was going to steal thread ideas he should become a member.

I went to that board when " URB " mentioned about it first on this thread and decided to join since people there seem to focus more about discussing important topics ( which happened to be a coincendence me posting here ) instead of you people replying more on threads on how to bash people rather than discussing about the topic....grow up man....wow....i decided to post a valuable topic thread and still get this shit from everyone?

RawAlex · 2005-03-21, 12:22 PM

Yeah, I am not sure what is worse: making up scare threads to increase page hits, or copying that thread to another board.

I swear i have never heard of Oprano until it was mentioned in this thread...i have never even posted on boards before...i have always been behind the scenes...my staff may have but not me...until now...usually owners of programs never post on boards...its either the marketing directors, affiliate support staff or president, etc...but not the actually owners...how many owners of affiliate programs do you know who post here? not many...

It's a morph. A cross between heavy hitter and major player. Sounds better than major hitter.
