- Unethical rebilling and slamming surfers credit cards.....thanks Xpix
- Dialers dropping net connections and dialing out to Bumfucked,Egypt and charging unsuspecting surfers by the minute

Its been argued over and over I still think that those examples coupled with the PT Barnum attitude toward surfers has stagnated the business. Plus we've totally moved into fuck the affiliate at all costs era as well.

If your running a paysite treat the surfer as a customer because thats what they are and if you want business partners dont rip them off when its time to pay out.

You've seen the force of Visa fucking up the billing part of this industry...now Microsoft has stuck its nose in targetting spammers...spam hosters and eliminating the popup with a service pack. In MOST cases the PPS business model is history for paying out webmasters.

As with any new business revelation the culling of the herd is in full swing.

I love it. Im back on track to make more money than I did last time. And Ill note that I never was an Xpix affiliate or used a dialer.

One caveat....to all you drug pushers....
If you advertise a pill at a low price.... at least include the fucking "consultation fee" in the price instead of a detailed invoice after youve charged the card. After Ive waited on em to show up for 3 weeks chances are a surfer will cancel that order after 2 IF he dont cancel when getting pounded up the ass for an extra Cnote.
