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

A good reply.
I am 100% revshare and have been for over 3 years. My niche is 90% teen with some non nude. You must get a look inside the site before spending time on promotion. Some one girl sites interact with menbers and keep them for a very long time. If you have proof of being able to send traffic most will let you in for free. Many small site owners will even allow you to take samples of the latest updates and even provide custom entry points.
When you drop a site and checks are still coming in one year later you soon realise the benefits of running a good revshare program. When I move out of this biz later this year I will be getting a very nice income for quite some time.
Its not difficult to spot revshare sites that wont last.
