They see a big opportunity (which I cannot give an example because they would kill me) where they jump on advertising for one month, spend big big bucks on it, but then the advertising opportunity is gone. They can go months, sometimes more than a year before they see an opportunity like this again. Should this person not get the percentage he was promised for life? This whole issue is absolute nonsense. This is no more than stealing.
They can always choose the CPA deal if they are THAT TYPE of affiliates.
The click-here-to-play affiliates I don’t consider at all. I don’t have anything against them, but I don’t consider them and their opinions valuable at all. And from all people, I would think you should’ve been the first to agree, considering you know how much time and effort goes into creating quality content, comapred to simply buying an ad on a high traffic website.
The way I look at it – it’s 36% commission, no negatives, one of the top converters for the US market – can I bring 1 player in 3 months? I think so. Should I care about people whose contribution to the industry and total effort is an ad purchase on a website? No. Sounds like a deal TO ME.
