While revshare programs can certainly shave, there is less incentive because a webmaster is truly being paid what their traffic is worth...
I'm not slamming PPS signups as a whole (we send to some as well) it's just that they would be more pre-disposed to it...
ok, if I opened a per signup program and had the terms "$35 per signup, but if your ratios suck ass, we reserve the right to terminate you" affiliates would freak out and avoid joining en masse....as they should as there is no way to prove what the ratios truly were...
bottomline, trust who you're sending your traffic to or don't send it....

I agree with you about who the short sighted people are.
But I don't think the fact that big shiny letters that say "$50 PER SIGNUP" attracts people means it's okay to steal. ;)
There is no other business around where you can make outright lies and get away with it.
Ford can't tell you their cars will last for 500 years and make you breakfast every morning. That would certainly increase their sales.
Pepsi can't say that drinking Pepsi reduces the risk of cancer and each time you open a pepsi a $5 bill appears in your wallet. Again, that would increase sales.
It's too bad the pay per signup programs are victims of their own stupidity by promising what they can't deliver. But that doesn't mean it's okay for them to steal in order to appear to fulfill those promises.
And yes. ;) A good partnership program is the best thing there is around.
I have rebills up into the 35+ month range on some sites now. It's nice getting paid for a page I built 3+ years ago. hehe.
