WebSiteSecure offers surfers another layer of "feel good" and helps convert them into paying members, and it actually does help get a few more sales too. It also shows your webmasters that you are an ethical program and that helps you get a few more good quality webmasters on your side. And overall, IMHO, I think its a long-needed program to help separate us hard working and honest programs from those that are in it to scam a few bucks.

I think that in the next few months you will be seeing a lot more sites with WSS certification, and you will see affiliates using this certification to get their surfers to click through to the paysite and join. TheBestPorn announced it will be working with WSS to show certified sites on their reviews. I am betting more and more will do this.

Overall, I think being certified is a valuable asset that will only gain value over the next year or two, no matter who you are using for your billing.
