Im in partial agreement with Luke on this, i do think we're starting to see more and more companies cut back on unethical practices when it comes to billing because their affiliates are simply dropping them if they dont and at the same time, these same companies are realizing they are having to actually work on member retention rather than traffic/sales volumes to remain profitable.

5 years ago programs started seriously looking at building their own in-house traffic levels some decided to stop, some kept on going and these are the ones who are able to cut the x-sells and other bs billing practices because they have been able to see the true value in the traffic they are getting.

Its easy to get a new surfer to become a member when you are offering up $100 PPS however, its not as easy to keep them rebilling if a members area isnt up to par, the larger PPS programs are now realizing this despite it being something that revshare program owners have known for years.
