Think like a business man and you might come to a different conclusion.

Giving out more to affiliates means you make less, if you get more traffic and more sign ups you can still maker less by paying out more.

Unless there is a catch somewhere.

Go get a calculator and work it out for yourself.

Paying out 50% of $100 = $50
Paying out 55% of $110 = $49.50
Paying out 55% of $120 = $54
Paying out 60% of $120 = $48

Unless you massively increase the turnover you can lose more than you gain. Unless there are catches. Maybe getting lots of newbies to send traffic they never get paid on makes it profitable.

Maybe your program works like that.
