What do you look for in a program?

Hee - "Join our program and you'll be paying off your '85 Toyota before you can say 'bling' twice!"

To stay on topic - I didn't even consider payouts when making my post. I'd rather have a 50% partnership with a program that sells and converts than get inflated payouts with a program that doesn't. Sometimes fast cash is nice (hell, fast cash is always nice) but a well-retaining site is worth its weight in gold. Okay, bad analogy when we're talking about pixels, but ya'll get my meaning...

Yeah both you probably have a point about the partnership program over a paid per signups one.

I wasn't really picking one over the other, that was more or less just a quick example when I said like payout per signups...etc but for now I'm going with a PPS program over a partnership one.

I guess for the reason you said, the fast cash Since I've just now started back making sites the money is pretty important for me. So for that reason I've went with the faster cash as you put it.

But at this point I'll probably still be making alot of changes with my sponsors...etc

It's a good idea to go for a blend. When you're first getting started, those per-sale programs are very nice. Later, though, you'll be very glad if you incorporate some partnership programs in. I'm having a pretty lousy month for sales, and it's the rebills that are keeping me from completely tearing my hair out.

I still promote PPS; I just build free sites more for the partnerships proggies (not solely, but primarily). Eggs, baskets, blah blah blah.

Ah - just re-read and realized you're just getting BACK to site building; not just starting. So you know of what I speak.
