My experience in mainstream internet was not like that at all. I did a mainstream clothing store for a while about 6 years ago. What a waste of time. Most of the payouts were in the 5 to 8 percent range. I've never even personally saw a mainstream affiliate program that paid 20%. And then....once you sold a pair of shoes, or some jeans or whatever...the motherfuckers would start emailing your customers with their spam mails everyday with "specials". So the customer would go back to Fredericks or Brooks Brothers or any of the other dozen or so that I was pushing and buy WITHOUT my code the next time.
So my personal experience was NO it was not "honest" at all (because there was NO return customer because they "stole" them) and the percentages were very low. So you ended up (at least with clothing, shoes, and jewelry) making 5 to 8 percent ONE time and no returning customers. I closed that shit down about 3 years ago. It wasn't even worth my time.
