actually there are alot of programs that don't shave.

I promise you Platinum Bucks does not shave.

Signup a test webmaster account, do as many transactions as you wish and test us :)

Then let me know what account so at least I don't pay you for test signups LOL!

PLATINUM BUCKS = HONESTY

Dave, the question of shaving isn't just a question of 1 signup = 1 pay. There are other ways to shave. Would you also say your program tracks all hits, doesn't geo redirect any surfers, doesn't pop consoles on top of traffic, and those consoles are all 100% to the benefit of the webmaster sending the traffic?

I don't ask this to attack - I truly don't know the answer, so I figued I would ask and see what you have to say... :)

Dave also not to attack you but no program in the world is gonna shave a new account

a new affliate is gonna take the tour, look around, check the code on the join page

and they want you to see some dollars, this way you will start putting links and ads everywhere

after a few months when your ads everywhere is when the shave starts

A lot of webmaster will know what i am talking about

they see their sales climb everyweek then after 2 months or so they flatline for a week or 2 then slowly start to decrease

Also (and this is in no way directed to Platinum Bucks either) be sure to include credits refunding without explanation against otherwise valid sales with authorized charges that still mysteriously grant full access to the refunded card...

ccbill sponsors don't shave because they can't... :) but make sure you check the details of the program because some don't pay rebills for life...

Cheers!

I dont believe many affiliates shave. It would be the end to them.

If anyone has proof that any shaving goes on i think a topic for that with a sticky should be up..

If you sign up to a program that pays out $35+ per sign up on $1 trials and have their own affiliate back end then it's possible they are shaving, there's no way to know.

Chances are if you're promoting a program that pays rev-share you have much less chance they shave. I could be wrong but when you do the math it only makes sence.
