Rabbit, you know I value you as an affiliate, and I'm not saying that you don't have some valid points here. But the word "shaving" implies intentional dishonesty on the sponsor's part. I have taken great pride in making Lightspeedcash the most honest and fair revshare program possible, and there are many other honest revshare sponsors, too. It is a slap in the face to be accused to intentional cheating or dishonestly.
I could add to my rant above with comments about review sites:
"I want to build a network of paysite reviews to get top listings on all the search engines using your trademarked names. I'll pretend to be a consumer-advocate, but don't ask me to link to you without an affiliate code, that won't be possible. I need to pan a few sites to gain my surfers trust, I'm sorry if one might be yours.
If you cut a special pricing deal for my surfers only, I'll give you a slightly higher ranking.
Don't worry about the money I make by diverting surfers to sites I think are better than yours, even if they came to my review page because they were interested in your site. I think 40 extra links per page is quite reasonable.
And if I hear about your solo model quitting, I'll have to tell the world. My readers need to know if they aren't getting new content shot this week. And please re-edit your entire content library yearly, cuz I hate smaller images and movies not encoded in the highest possible bitrates.
Oh, and I'll make a special section for my surfers to share their opinions about your site, good or bad. But don't ask me to edit the bad ones, even if they are blatantly unfair.
And let me apologize in advance for asking my crankiest reviewer to review your sites, he's the only one available. I hope you have lots of hardcore on your softcore sites, cuz he only likes hardcore."
Steve Lightspeed
