    If you are going to sign up a new web hosting service, will you sign up via a rebate site*? why and why not?

    I ask this question because I have a plan to open a web hosting rebate site myself, what advise will u give me? What do you think are important elements to make u sign up via my web hosting rebate? please kindly share your opinions, thank you. :)

    *A rebate site will rebate some of the money to you if you sign up via their links.

    Personally I don't think anyone likes 'rebates' however everyone likes getting money back so it might work. I still do not understand, why would the customer pay $100 up front and then after 6 months get $30 back for example.

    Can you just explain how exactly your system works and how you can explain a hosting rebate to a customer? People will wonder why they have to wait to get a rebate and how it benefits them.

    Of course, I will write a full explanations to explain how the rebate works in my site, basically, if you purchase a web hosting service via my site and you can get a rebate check after 30 days, the amount will be $20-30, that's my plan :)

    Try to get the people you rebate to write a testimonial about your site. A testimonial page might help out ex. www.hostingplanrebates.com/testimonials.aspx
    FYI, it will take longer than 30 days for you to get the commission from most web hosts. For some it might take 45 days or even 60 days. Good luck to you Zetman.
