Andy, I agree with what Keller had to say. PayDotCom could be one of the giants (like PayPal) if the user interaction does not give way to a “would you like fries with that” experience.

Once you are an Internet marketer, it is hard to skin that and evolve into a VC mindset. Mike can do better. We affiliates, depend on it.

I am not aware of any testing but I did delete your link

So Andy,

I thought Mike was the king of knowing his numbers. So you think he tried this in some testing before releasing it? I guess you would probably have been in on it if he did.

I agree his paydotcom could use some work. It is very clunky to move around in and he is always trying to sell me something. The popups can sure get in the way at times.

I am sure Mike does know his numbers very well, but that is for sales calculated after a refund period – some CPA is like that as well, but a lot of times, as Mike is doing, that is all calculated into the payout based upon percentages.
The numbers will work based upon normal expected conversion and refund rates, but not if it gets abused with stolen credit cards as happens with CPA offers.

Hey Andy, I’ve read on Russell’s blog that he did a LOT of money with his recent butterfly marketing promo, so the man knows his numbers.
