Arrrrrrhgghghhh, there'll be none of that here there now mateys or thee be walking the plank...Righto? |jolly roger

Ok! Well that sort of confirms what I suspected. Basically, I'm still hearing that if you want to be in it and are doing it there aren't any real reasons for failing outside of poor content/conversions and personal choice.

The next question is $29.95 is about the AVERAGE member rate although I'm seeing some sponsors are starting to bump up to 39.95 for "new" sites. My rough estimates are that after processing, aff pymts, etc. maybe your walking away with $11-$15 for remaining costs and profit. Is this about right?

Finally, what is the typical $$$ arrangement if you turn your content and site over to someone like Top or OC or Dirty D or even a feed company for them to market it (if you got it like that) ?

Thanks for the input?
