You also forget that many pps sponsors don't pay for all exit sales so they may have made some money there. Also many sell the emails of their members so they get more cash there. As someone else said there are also up-sells and often cross sells.

My best recurring sponsor (and I've tried a lot of them) over time has made me an average of $36 per sign-up. That adds in all the trials that don't convert, refunds, rebills and everything.

So say I send 100 sign-ups in a month and they pay me an average of $30 per sign-up. I get $3,000. But if I would have used revshare I would have made a total of around $3,600. The difference is that with that revshare the $3,600 would have been paid out over 9 months or longer.

For me the bottom line is pretty simple. I have done reviews of a lot of paysites out there and many of them suck. I can honestly say I have no idea how they keep members. When I send someone a sign up, I am now out of the equation, I have no control over the member's area or anything else so I would rather just get my money and go on my way. That way if they cancel, chargeback, or whatever, it doesn't effect me. Also, if the site suddenly disappears 3 months from now I don't lose all of my rebills because the site owner was a thief or found god or got a boyfriend that didn't want her to run the site anymore.
