Is the amount of webmasters you lose because of letting them wait worth it? That's that really hard to believe. Like really.
You must have so many scammers signing up for your program who can cause major damage in 1 or 2 days to justify all the webmasters who signed up somewhere else.
I think times have changed. Most affiliate programs are not that desperate for sales anymore. They don't want to take any risks. A lot of programs now go for quality over quantity. They want to be able to chose with who they do business.
In the past everyone was going for the quick buck, just getting as many affiliates and as many sales as possible, while humping from processor to processor, from merchant account to merchant account. This was risky, stressful and made their businesses unstable and times have changed in regards to processing and merchant accounts etc. It's not the wild west anymore. Most programs that are still alive are in it for the long run. They don't need/want some shitty sales from some random webmaster from Ukrain with a free hosted blog, They want quality webmasters who they can trust and build a valuable relation with.
