AEBN is NOT 20% for Life

[Simon]

My feeling is that if a program has to define "Lifetime" then I suggest that a better idea would be to stop using the term.

Words like Lifetime should have a generally-accepted meaning and if you don't mean that, then don't use the word at all. Or at least anyone who does use it to mean anything but the accepted meaning should have to put a HUGE ASTERISK next to the word every single place it appears and have to put their "definition" of Lifetime* on the bottom of every single page on which the term appears.

I don't like the "1984" aspect of allowing more Newspeak to creep into our business. Using a 'definition' to narrow what a word like Lifetime would otherwise mean is not something I think we should allow anyone to do.

My problem with all this is that it hurts VOD revshare in general.

webmasters will get concerned about the long tail of their work.

We promote moviedollars with the idea - Hey, you won't initially get the $40 pps, but your users will eventually be worth way more then $40.

we cut our costs by not having to do all of the scam detection that a pps program has to do. webmasters make money for years off individual users they sent, regardless if they still have links up.

You could have sent your traffic to a PPS company on that day, week, month, whatever. Instead you sent it to me and I thank you by paying for years on that account.

Now if webmasters get turned off by companies not doing what they promised they won't promote rev-share. Next thing you know I need to hire more staff and offer a pps option.



I still get my checks from AEBN, I still send them traffic and will continue to do so. I don't agree with what their doing, but what choice do we have as webmasters? none.

my recommendation to webmasters is to keep your links to AEBN up, but make sure all your eggs aren't in one basket.

Good post, and not having one's eggs all in one basket is sound advice at any time.

What do you mean what choice do we have. To stop promoting them, obviously! There are tons of sponsors out there! Oh but wait, then they won't pay you your hard-earned recurring moneys...

I don't care what anyone says, not paying webmasters their percentage for the surfers they sent is not right!!!!!!!!! How can anyone see it as fair escapes me! It's my own damn business what I do with my sites! If I want to replace the links to the sponsor with links to the local bible group on my own domain, then i will do just that, while expecting to still get paid for the surfers that I signed. Why is there there even a debate on this one????

So besides not putting your eggs in one basket, one might pay attention who it is that he's getting in bed with in the first place!
