    Here goes nothing...

    I signed up here. At figure at worst, I'll just get more emails to delete.

    If it works out, then thanks a million!

    It's not so strange when you know that the owners of the service brought in one person to handle all the promotion to publishers (webmasters), and they simply made him the first affiliate. The first URL is his and the second one is the service itself.

    This also means that any complaints about 'spammy' sales pages (you know who you are) should be addressed to the promoter. The sales pages were not developed by the pay-per-play service.

    For more info about this see my post earlier in this thread, which also links to a fuller discussion on The Warrior Forum.

    Ok, SolarCat, it makes clearer about seller page.

    But what that means (expecially marked in bold)???
    Btw: There is nothing mentioned about that in your previous post.

    Just read this whole thread. Several folks have commented that the sales page looks spammy. IMHO, this kind of comment doesn't contribute much to the discussion about the merits of the service.

    yes i know that in other words this kind of comments 'doesn't help to get referals' but maybe will help to figure out what it is, the point is to figure out what it really is instead of blindly follow recomendations. People are free to talk what they think in my opinion.
    The referring page in my op. looks cheap, but now i know (as you explained just now) that it is promoters page, not the pay-per-play service.

    Nice post, but I think that the site is a little bit "not thought through well enough"... Nothing will ever be better than AdSense and not a lot of people will pay the advertising costs that this site suggest advertisers will pay.

    I'm an advertiser and I wouldn't pay for these low amounts... ever.

    Chris, that's probably because you don't represent a large consumer-oriented corporation with a multi-hundred-million-dollar advertising budget. These ads are like short radio spots, long enough to build brand recognition and not much else. It's a different mindset entirely compared to small online marketers who want to track the result of every penny they spend in advertising.

    But rather than try to write an explanation myself, I'll refer you to this post by Charles Heflin in the Warrior Forum, where he explains why the advertisers they have lined up are eager to pay for the service.
