Thats like Coca-Cola offering a 2-4-1 deal on their products all the time, not just when they want an increase in sales.

It doesnt happen in the real-world like that, why should it happen online?

If i buy a bottle of Coke while they are running the promotion, i expect to get 2-4-1 on that purchase only.

If they are still running the promotion and i decide next time to buy a Pepsi product instead of a Coke product, the NEXT time i walk in to the store, if Pepsi is on 2-4-1, i wouldnt expect to be able to buy Coca-Cola on 2-4-1.

The affiliate stopped sending traffic/sales and shouldnt expect to still be making the '2-4-1' offer on sales.

If the affiliate doesnt like that, they can send their traffic elsewhere.

Cant you see how unfair this is to the program, affiliates can do pretty much what they want, when they want to in terms of sending sponsors traffic, the second a sponsor does something that the affiliate doesnt like, they get bitched at, even if the affiliate is NO LONGER promoting that sponsor.

i must admit that i dont see how this example is relavant to the online issue we are debating here.. There is a big difference between being a loyal customer to a product like pepsi and being an affiliated webmaster sending traffic.. so its an invalid argument imo..

The matter boils down to one simple fact, the member that continues to rebill on your program was sent to you by the webmaster and therefor he should continue to get paid..

Imo its just the programs luck that the webmaster was promoting them and not some other program when he sent the enternally rebilling surfer.. Just because he has since then moved on for some reason or another doesnt make the surfer less valuable to the program and the guy who sent it should be paid..
