Another example but without a conclusion this time.
RUC owned by JT. Let us say you are a "standard affiliate" currently make about 10% more EPC with RUC than your next sponsor.
BUUUUT you see in the other thread where the owner, JT, said the following:

ReallyUsefulCash.com is not affiliate friendly and I do not hide this fact. I did not want to have an open affiliate program, but against my better judgement, I did indeed, make it an open program. That is where I went wrong.

In excess of 70% of my traffic is attributed to the tubes, less than 10% with standard affiliates.
I do EVERYTHING for the tubes, I do NOTHING for the standard affiliate.

I hope the picture I have painted in this response clearly shows why my company is not standard affiliate friendly.

Now therefore given that RUC owned by JT is a revshare program and you can reasonably have rebills for two years or longer in this industry do you still think it is worth it to send your clicks to RUC for an extra 10% according to the $/click values alone?
I would of course argue,
HELL NO. This guy admits he isn't affiliate friendly, has constant issues with affiliates, regrets opening his affiliate program, and brags about how he does everything for tubes and nothing for affiliates.
How long should a reasonable person believe that the RUC affiliate program will go on for "standard affiliates"? Do I believe this guy respects me or really needs my business? I wouldn't bet you double payout right now that it will be around in the next 90 days let alone two years from now. That's my opinion and my judgment based on past experience. Sure even the most affiliate friendly, respectful, and honest programs can go out of business suddenly but as a whole it happens far less and when it does those people usually have the integrity to try to be more fair or give good notice.
