What I have learned in this business?
People are fucking thieving, scamming, lying backstabbing assholes. Not much else.. oh, and that traffic equals money.

TGF summed it up much more concisely and eloquently than I could! What he says is at the core of everything else I've learend in this industry....
It's quite amazing actually when you think about it. The entire industry is created around deception and treating your customers as prey. And the attitude is take just as much as you can possibly get away with.
Sponsors advertise $30-$40 a signup. Everyone knows they have to shave and fudge the numbers to keep up the appearance of that payout, but it's all a wink nudge business as usual thing.
Would any other business put up with it? Imagine you were selling copper pipe. A contractor agrees to pay you $1000 per house. You ship him enough copper for 10 houses and get a check back for $5000. You ask, he says he was only able to plumb 5 houses. You notice that he has 10 new houses done though. This is the norm in our business....
It's not just sponsors though. Webmasters are fleecing the surfers and will stretch whatever rules the sponsors have for accepting traffic and signups to the absolute limit. And if the sponsors were honest, saying they could afford to pay an honest unshaved $10 per signup for instance, dumbfucks would say "that aint enough!" and keep on sending to the higher PPS programs.
Everyone fucks everyone, but as disfunctional as the whole thing is, it's still the best way to make money with traffic on the net.
