It's hardly that simple, because if your leads are crap they are not worth the payout. Get over yourself dude...the advertisers are in business to make a profit, not get 100 crap leads from your splogs or whatever other misleading tactics you may be employing to inflate your earnings (and then cry when they get wiped for being the garbage they are). Affiliates that share your attitude ruin it for the rest of us who are actually providing quality traffic and not just trying to milk an offer and make a quick buck.
So your logic is that if these products are promoted via a flog(not splog ya dumbass) which says the offer works, that is the reason for the shaving? Why is it misleading to say the product works on a flog but somehow isn't misleading being all over the landing page of the offer...or are those testimonials and pitch words on the lp just for shits or what, not following you at all here bud.
Your definition of "quality traffic" is consumers who can be billed the longest without realizing it or do not take the initiative to cancel. Well I don't know of a longest potential billing filter to only get this so called quality, in fact I think it's totally outlandish to propose aquiring this type of lead can be controlled. The merchants are jerry-rigging the situation by shaving.
If the products actually worked and customers weren't billed immediately when it says trial, get into impossible to cancel billing cycles then it wouldn't matter how it was promoted as long as the people are interested in the least. How can netflix, columbia house, credit reports and other reputable companies run on incent? Because the customers that end up getting the product or service are mostly satisfied. It's not about the "quality" of the leads, it's the fact that most rebill products in the cpa market are total dogshit when it comes to actual value.
It's either make your own products or get raped from time to time and quickly implement a rotator. The shaving discussion always seems to turn out like an unpragmatic bitchfest ending up being completely ineffectual.
