No, you don't. If I would get 9 for free right after each ten sold I wouldn't have a problem with that, not at all. See my example in the other mail. It's a "self-killing" promotion. If it became a success you would have to kill it early on because of the huge expenses rolling over you. > > Just don't think .info costs $1 now. :-) It's a promotion, that's all. > If we would really be getting and selling .info for $1, we [I mean: all > resellers] could maybe get a million(?) new registrations in a few > months or so.

With this rebate approach you just kill a possible success right before it began. The core problem is that you still need to have $10 for each sale in your account and this for a long time. With the current system there happens only one thing: nobody does a promotion and every reseller sacks in the $9 quietly as an extra profit.
