Oh great! Now people are posting ideas & threads from other board as if they were their own. Wonderful

if visa stops recurring, we'll advertise our sites on the join page like this:

"No more worries about seeing charges on your credit card bill month after month - our site only charges you for the month you join. No recurring billing here!"

and guys who were nervous about rebills will join. it all balances out in the end.

Banks also seem to be making a few cautious steps into online transfers. PayPal offering credit for some purchases shows another level of maturity for net friendly payments.

I have to agree somewhat...third party private label processors are getting more popular and i do see a future for them...

He did go over there and start a hello thread today. I guess he figured that if he was going to steal thread ideas he should become a member.

[RawAlex]

Yeah, I am not sure what is worse: making up scare threads to increase page hits, or copying that thread to another board.

I went to that board when " URB " mentioned about it first on this thread and decided to join since people there seem to focus more about discussing important topics ( which happened to be a coincendence me posting here ) instead of you people replying more on threads on how to bash people rather than discussing about the topic....grow up man....wow....i decided to post a valuable topic thread and still get this shit from everyone?

Raffi, seriously, you'd never heard of Oprano before?

The $35 flat payouts from sponsors would surely end. They would have to move to a revshare model. I like revshare. A lot of people don't, so they'd drop them as sponsors. I see few people taking the time to send out a new cheque every month to renew access to adult sites but I could be wrong.

Signing up is an impulse thing. The wife is out shopping. The buyer is sitting in his work den alone. The credit card is in his back pocket. He's feeling a bit randy. By the time the sponsor gets the cheque and enables access to the site(s) the buyer has already satisfied himself with the lingerie section of the Sears catalog and may have lost interest.

So you're a 'heavy player' who has never heard of that board? The only thing heavy is the layer of grizzle on your spam.

It's a morph. A cross between heavy hitter and major player. Sounds better than major hitter.

Isn't there enough to worry about these days without making up scary 'what if' situations.

I swear i have never heard of Oprano until it was mentioned in this thread...i have never even posted on boards before...i have always been behind the scenes...my staff may have but not me...until now...usually owners of programs never post on boards...its either the marketing directors, affiliate support staff or president, etc...but not the actually owners...how many owners of affiliate programs do you know who post here? not many...
