I couldn’t find the 2nd post you did on this, so I’m leaving this here.

Well it works! I did ONE post on it, when I read yours back in November, and just received a $55 dollar payment.

Don’t ask me how LOL.

Thank you Matthew,

We were considering a percentage and will take your feedback into consideration.

5% may be a bit high considering our total profit margin which is closer to 10% after transaction fees, server costs, employee costs (support, programming etc), bulk discounts to advertisers (up to 15%) etc..

Thanks again,
James

James,

Well I wouldnt place the banner, but Id definitely be interested in promoting it more, through RSS Feed etc. I currently promote Text Link Ads a lot due to the payout of 25$.

What I was thinking was along with the 5$ affiliate referral, you would also get a % of the bloggers future earnings. Maybe 1-5%?

I’ve earned a total of 219$ to date. If someone referred me at the beginning (with 5% incentive) they would of earned a little more than 10$. Sponsored Reviews would still be earning that 30% per post, and it gives bloggers more reason to promote the sponsored reviews service.

Thank you for the feedback Matthew,

What payout would you suggest that would encourage you specifically to place the banner on your site?
