Sure, sites could maybe break even, or even make a little on $35/ea... But it's not enough to run a business off of.

As long as webmasters will move bulk traffic to higher paying programs, the payout will continue to go higher. People can scream to the high heavens that they don't send traffic like that, but the reality is they do.
And yes, sites can make money on a $35 payout without shaving signups. In order to do it, the site operator has to truly understand the revenue model and take advantage of every chance to make ten extra cents.
While smaller sites look at the per surfer profit as being as much as they can get -- and design their sites with an eye to it, large programs make their money on volume, and that is their bottom line.
After all, going by my money at the end of the day calculations, if you have an average of $100 per member and you get 10 joins a day, you aren't making more than the guy earning $10 per member on 1000 joins a day.
