Basically the program is killed by the webmasters.
Sure traffic is nice, sure maybe the site even retains however...
your splitting a reasonable 50/50 site up with maybe 25 bucks.
Split to 12.50
deduct processor fee's another 2 bucks.
deduct bandwidth useage per member average 3 bucks maybe.
deduct what ever with content plugins over head...
sponsor is left with maybe 4 bucks Per member and thats being generous.
With new content, and development to keep ahead or move forward ya gonna loose more.
Bank 3 bucks per member if even that...
500 members make merely $1500.
Ya might get the gist of my description there but basically...
Thats not getting ahead.
There are other ways of getting ahead...

I started to reply to this, but it's an extremely complicated topic and I ended up nearly writing an essay cos I'm bored.
Basically, with PPS, you sling yer mega amounts of hits and hope some sticks, which it often does.
With revshare, a little more knowledge is required. The gains for affiliate and webmaster are in retention. That means as an affiliate you need to know your niche and your niches sites. I know my niche inside out cos I'm a fan
my profit from revshare is far, far greater than anything I could see from PPS. (and I have throughly tried PPS).
The knowledge required for revshare includes knowing which sites are crap and which are good and likely to retain. It includes knowing that they are not hosted on some virtual server paying daft bandwidth prices. It includes knowing the site is NOT filled with plugins etc. etc.
Thinking, 'oh, I have granny traffic, lets sign up a few ccbill granny sites' just wont cut it.
Also, getting your sites to run as revshare from this board wont cut it. 'Sponsor presence on this board does not necessarily equal quality' (ack, actually, far from it, have you seen the niche sites most of the large sponsors on this board run ? Complete crap).
You can't make good money from revshare if you don't know your niche and your sites. If you do, the gains are way better than PPS. If you don't, stick with PPS.
Still an essay
