The problem with that is we are all playing with different sized goals.
European webmasters have to pay vat on the total cost of the sale - Usa webmasters don't. We also have to pay ccbill 3% more.
So, for a 30 dollar sale,
ccbill take 4.50
Vat takes 6.60 (I pay 22%)
affiliate takes 15.00
Paying somebody to make up loads of fhg and videos and hosting them, takes up more than the 3.90 left over -
For us Europeans, the affiliate model really doesn't work that well as we simply can not compete with American webmasters. And, when we explain to non European affiliates and explain what an actual sale is worth, we are often told "Bullshit".!!!
