    Blockbuster is dropping down again to $15 this time. From $52 to $15 in a month, that sucks.

    Holy crap that is a big drop maybe it will bring people towards my product once it is released. I would stop using them if I were you.

    that's what happens when people rape and pillage an offer to death with no regards to their rules and regulations. :(

    im actually surprised at how there's about 0 change in the competition so far, people must be slow to reacting :-\

    i've actually spent more in clicks than i've gotten in leads today on it

    yeah, just means i'll be switching my blockbuster ads to another network. just keep on doing these type of drops and i'll switch more of my ads elsewhere.

    Big loss of faith here.. 52 to 14? Must've been a lot of cancellations via the initial signups or something fishy.

    Reminds me of the golden days when True.com first launched their affiliate program. They were paying around $18/free signup and now its only a couple of dollars.

    Blockbuster got the customers and can't afford to keep paying high payouts for new subscribers that they can probably get on their own. Netflix did the same when their affiliate program launched but just not so drastic so soon.

    $14.50 whoa

    There are plenty of other networks offering Blockbuster for $35+

    Even at $14.50 azoogle affiliates are still bidding on the trademark ... imho this has something to do with the lowering of the payout

    The networks that pay $35 don't allow search marketing for the offer anymore...

    Well if azoogle affiliates can continue to bid on the trademark then why cant the other networks allow search traffic?

    we cant bid on the trademarks anymore... see my thread about it

    first offense: loss of day's commissions
    second offense: loss of week's commissions
    third offense: loss of month's commissions and banned from all blockbuster programs

    I agree there. It's always the people that think they can cheat the system that ruins it for us all.

    That's a big drop with Blockbuster, I must admit.
