I send a revshare sale to program A.... it rebills for 2 years and they pay me 16 times before shaving the rest of the recurring revenue.
I send a revshare sale to program B.... it rebills for 1 year and they pay me 12 times
I send a revshare sale to program C.... it rebills for 2 years and they pay me 8 times because the honest sponsor who never shaved anyone had a heart-attack and died.
Which sale earned me the most per click?  |
The above is a specially designed example you crafted to show your point. I could come up with an example to show the opposite. It means little. In the real world if someone would cheat you once they will probably cheat you more in the future. It comes down to psychology. For many affiliates doing revshare it's a long term business relationship which can last several years or even decades.
Like I said we all have different models we use and we each have our own way of doing things. Personally I prefer doing things which I think realistically will still be making me money 2-3 years out. I tend to shoot for the long term. This minimizes my wasted labor so I don't continually have to chase my tail and get nowhere. But I understand that others have different models. I know for instance blackhats who have a model of putting up 1000 videos a day on tube sites. The videos only last a day or two but that is their model and they profit from it. The same for people who do ad buys and rely on a PPS model. But that isn't what everyone is going for.
