A woman is like beer. They look good, they smell good, and you'd step over your own mother just to get one!

It all adds up.
Say a program with 10 sites gets 100 sales. 90 @ 4.95 = 445.50 10 @ 29.95 = 299.50 for a total of 745.00 If 90% are pps @ 30.00 they payout 2,700.00, which is a big nut to crack along with paying for updates and payroll, hosting, promotion...etc. Of course they get conversions and rebills and some income from exit traffic. |

Programs can also "shave" through issuing false credits that appear to rescind an otherwise seemingly legit sale.
This falls under the "one for you, one for me, two for you and one two for me" method of shaving. Third party processors like CCbill, or DHD - who we use - have a strong incentive to prevent shaving of this sort since they make more money on the affiliate webmaster earning their fair share. Any program worth its weight in honesty - (cough cough, ahem, like us) - would allow affiliates to conduct audits of their system. If you want to find out if your program is shaving or not then see what happens when you ask to see the books. I believe unfortunately that shaving is a lot more prevelant than many folks realize. |
