Strange payout system? Is it the next big thing?

Rolo · 06-03-2003

I have seen that payout model on many european based programs... usual its because they have multiple payment options beside credit cards (ex. dialers, 900#, online checks, giro, bank transfers etc.). Not all of those are recurring, so paying 50-70% on all transactions are normal.
Makes it simple for the affiliate to understand the payout model, and gives the affiliate program better cashflow.

Is this the future - well my personal opinion is that per signup model as we knew have been dying the last few years. 2 years from now I do not think there will be many left paying $30-35 for every free trial signup without heavy scrubbing (or shaving). So something has to replace it, if webmasters want to see good signup ratios, and receive most $ per click they send.
