upsales to members.. not scams but targeted selling to qualified customers - if you treat them good and give them what they paid for then they are more likely to whip out their cc to buy something else you offer assuming you offer what they want..
reduced rate memberships offered to cancelling members..
spamming their mailing lists..
income generated by sponsors own traffic.. traffic they buy from various sources or even just se listings..
lots of other stuff too no doubt.. it all adds up..

I quite agree with you Mark, but in all honesty, I have spoken with and discussed this situation with many webmasters, and generally the shave is on, and the upsells are running hot
My answer is in response to the fact that to make a buck paying a $35 payout to an affiliate, you just cannot do it on rebills alone
Recently I obtained my own merhant account, and I have been scouring my competitors join pages. And in most instances, dialers are not even offered.
So upsells and traffic shuffling is all they are doing on the outset. But on closer examination, they also usually offer their own stats. And it is at this point I start smelling a rat.
My message in the end is this.
Find a sponsor with "AUDITABLE" stats
