If someone sends you traffic back, provides you other sources of income or brings you new connections worth money that ought to all be factored into the NET $/click equation.

Having said that (and what I said), there is one scenario in where paysite might pay more money for PPS, than they directly earn from that. Having your brand/ site known is very important part of business. In affiliate model initial exposure is free, as affiliates are only paid for customers, those come through their links and order within certain time frame/ session. Like affiliates do calculate the total value, so does paysites. Exposure, that materialises through brand recognition, type in traffic and google traffic, does produce value as well.
I have done basic advertising in magazines and newspapers (mainstream). You pay x-sum for the exposure. You can do it in affiliate model too.
