    if you read the terms and conditions you will see that it is clearly stated that if you don't provide a certain signups/clicks and paid signups/free signups ratio you will be changed to percent commissions. In another words: your traffic is not profitable for AFF so they prefer paying you on a percent basis instead of PPC...
    Anyway if your trafic is good, PPS is a better option and will bring you more money over time in my opinion

    Well that's the way friendfinder network works. If you have quality traffic which converts than only they would let you use ppc.

    Yes, FriendFinder are sleaze bags and this is what they do. Retroactively convert your account and steal your money.

    A while back they did it to me. I was running one of their Asian niche programs. I send well targeted traffic so if it doesn't convert then the problem is on their end.

    My recommendation - either avoid them altogther, or toss the dice and don't be surprised if they rip you off after you have been running them a while.

    That's the way quite a few CPC affiliate programs works these days. If your traffic doesn't convert on a CPC then they will change it to CPS. They shouldn't have really deducted $80 of your account though. That is just not right really. If your traffic was that bad then they should have changed you to CPS once you hit the $20 mark.

    yeah all works like this , if you didn't make free signup from your traffic they convert you to the PPS system and cut the profit from ppc

    I remember Casino site give 1c per visitor with 200$ payout and when reach the payout they convert your account to pay per signup and remove the 200$ you made

    it's tricky system
