Unofficial Webmaster Poll

The pps model is a payout based on all the income from the site. Many sites that use pps don't have good members areas but rely mostly on cross sales, upsells, member mailouts etc etc. So your payout is a reflection of the total income from the site, not the surfer retention specifically.

Thats all well and good, but I have to admit that even though revshare only rewards you for good retention, revshare has been the big moneymaker for me this year ... whereas pps made me the majority of my income since 2001. All the pps programs I promote have just stopped converting .. strange.

Ever wonder why so many sponsors start up and dissappear 6 months later?

My initial thought is that they don't know what they're doing...or don't know what they're getting into

The way I see it, traffic that rebills is what I want most because it fits in line with the type of business I want to run.
For that reason, I focus on seeking out and working with traffic that does just what you described.

Yea, no kidding!! LOL!!
But if everyone stayed as a member for years, I'm guessing that there would be even more, and WAY more, competition in this field of biz.

Thats my opinion as well. But I only do revshare with ccbill cause I like it.
I do it with nats cause I have to. Other programs that give option I choose PPS because I do not have visibility.
ccbill programs give the ability to see how long a person has rebilled and whether or not they have canceled yet so you can forecast.
I mentioned in another thread that last month sales and rebills were the same at ccbill.
Plus 80% had 3 payouts or more. 1 over 3 years, 3 over 2 years, 8 over 1 year and 16 over the 6 mo mark just to give a bit of info.
Plus I can see that 11 people have canceled for next month at this time. Bummer

I actually find CCBill's interface to be quite clunky compared to some of my other sponsors stats, but I haven't really gotten into it to much and I guess that that's a preference too.. and if/when I have 300+ rebills with CCBill I might se things differently

One of my few sponsors that I get volume bonuses with started showing my conversions from trials(over 50% ), so I am going to start to push more to their revshare program rather than PPS.

I mainly do revshare for the same reasons as Toby posted about niche and solo sites.

Ok.
So is this a BIG diffeence?
Are there categories that ALWAYS convert rebills better than others?

I can see that a 'Teen" category might be a big seller (although I wouldn't even try to touch it with my 10 feet pole

) but since there is SO damn much free good stuff out there, why even bother??

And is a ,say BDSM category, a more worthy rebill target?
