Misses definitely cost something. PPI (pay per install) affiliate programs have a floor price (iirc about $0.10 - $0.50 per install last i checked). Its higher than e-mail spam, but even that has a price. Targeted traffic costs more, but has higher conversion ratios. I don't think bitcoin wallets are so generic that you'd get a measurable number of wallets on generic traffic. You'd have to get many thousands of installs to even get one.
- dllthomas 13y agoIs there a pay-per-install affiliate program involved here?
- kylebrown 13y agoYour claim that "misses don't cost much" wasn't about the OP, it was about a hypothetical thought experiment. At the very least, misses cost the labor/opportunity of building, marketing, and distributing a generic executable (eg malware inside a windows screen saver). PPI payout rate provides a market estimate of the cost for that service.
- dllthomas 13y agoAh, your argument was "a miss here is a missed opportunity to do something else, so they should be pricing in the opportunity cost." Valid, I think, but I've got to give the ramifications more thought for any sort of substantive response.
