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...
Very good point. I only work per signup for the reason that I don't want the risk factor. As a search engine marketer, I want a guaranteed flat rate. I'm willing to forgo some profits for a fixed rate. If the adult company can retain those members for a long time, then congrats to them, they deserve to keep the extra profit. If it means I come under the shave, so be it. For many webmasters, they don't want to wait for months to get the total value from a customer. For me, my business is to lead people from the search engine to the adult company. Once they've converted it's the adult companies responsibility to retain them as long as possible and since i have no influence or control over this factor, I insist on per signup. I'm not bashing revshare, I'm just saying that per signup is a more viable option for those webmasters who want to minimize risk.
