10,000 shaved to 8,000 is just unambitious!! ;-))

Shaving 101

You turn up the shave everyday a lil bit.

When they howl you say "OMFG!! thats ridiculous, let me credit you X and look into it"

You then turn the shave down 10-20%....then you slowly turn it up agaim...rinse and repeat...

There are I believe instances of people being shaved 90% and STILL thanking the program owner cause his CHECK was bigger there than at the last place!!

I'm not unambitious, and I DO know all about it, I just fucking hate it. It's wrong,

But if someone is stupid enough to send traffic to something where anyone with half a clue KNOWS the numbers are just unsupportable, well, that is the CRUX of the problem.

Funny you give the example of the dickhead webmaster - it's not just the small ones...

I remember a mutual friend telling me the story of once a long time ago when a certain webmaster sending him traffic got 1000 joins in a week and was so stoked he flew them overseas for a 3 day bender of wine, women and song to thank them.

The question was posed as to what that webmaster would have done for them if he wasn't being shaved at 80% when he got the 1000.

Would ge a fucking hilarious story if it wasn't true.

Every industry evolves, and this one has grown up a shitload in the 5 years I have been dancing around, but it has a long way to go. Or not. Depends on your viewpoint I suppose.

I am not greedy and I just try and be the type of sponsor I wish I had when I was pushing shit uphill.

And I won't shave ANYONE knowingly.....

On the processors, some are more obvious than others in how they do it, not only is that level the "best" as you call it, it is the EASIEST. By far.

I a man of few principles and fewer morals, but those that I do have do NOT get bent.

And my original offer is a standing one.
