We just took a look at Intell-i-chat and are considering using their service. What was explained to me is that Intel-i-chat and affiliate would split the PPS. So, if a program normally pays $30 pps they affiliate would get $15 and intelichat would get $15 too.

As for shaving, that is just not accurate. Sure, the affiliate is getting only 50% of the PPS, but 50% of $30 is better than 100% of nothing. Eitherway, the program is still paying the entire PPS.

And for those that will say, well what about the people who leave and come back, i should get 100%. The answer is you will as long as the surfer didn't click the join link in the intelichat window. And if he did click the intelichat join link, the bottom line is this is about trying to 'reclaim' joins. The idea is you're making more money overall because of intelichat.

In life, very rarely is there ever ONLY an upside. In life, there are usually some negatives to any situation. You decide to proceed if the good outwieghs the bad.
