Important Topic.... Is the PPS Model in Serious Danger?
The Pay Per Signup business model has been able to adapt and move forward despite industry changes for the past few years. I don't think they've ever had to deal with something that targets their revenue as much as this topic. The topic of Pop Up Blockers.
Every PPS sponsor will tell you a big factor in them being able to payout what they payout has to do with revenue made from exit traffic. Popup blockers are becoming more and more popular. The new XP SP2 has a BUILT IN popup blocker. How are the PPS sites going to be able to payout the big bucks if they start losing major chunks of revenue from exit traffic? |

Isn't it more of a threat to current payouts than the actual model itself?

True. But as payouts drop the line between PPS and Revshare becomes very faint.
With Revshare you are sending your traffic to a site that you are hoping will treat your surfer the right way and keep them a member for a long time. With PPS you are sending your traffic to the site that is going to juice every dime out of that surfer. You are right. My title is screwy, it should be how will PPS Companies deal with a potential drop in exit traffic revenue. |

Yes I agree with you guys. I'm curious as to what % of revenue Exit Traffic contributes to. My guess would be somewhere between 10% and 20%. I think existing companies with the size and recurring members will be able to move forward no problem. Newer sites trying to get started with PPS may find it very difficult to do so.

I think the only thing which will have to change in such cases, is the site's thinking.
If they can increase member retention, they won't have to worry about making the extra $$$ from exit consoles. On a side note though, as many new popup blockers come out, new code comes out to get around them. I believe it will always be the case, as it follows "If they build it, we will break it down" I don't think is a very big issue for any serious company.

back to the original question: Is the PPS Model in Serious Danger? Definetely things do not add up lately for many paysite owners. This week Maxcash decreased their trial payouts. This is not coincidence. I think we're gonna see more following soon. |

I've noticed during the past year a lot of common toolbars and ISP providers started to come with pop up blockers built in. Google, Alexa, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, Earthlink, PeoplePC for example have them.

Most of the sponsors i worked with still can payout $30-35 without consoles and i always try to send to popup free tours, makes me more money overall. I would be happy to see consoles disappear totally.

One interesting thing. With less consoles surfers may start clicking thru to the tours more again. That would be great Only downside is the increase in spyware problems will probably offset the benefit less consoles brings to surfer confidence.
