Justin you would think so, BUT that doesn't seem to be the case for me and others I have talked to. The click program just makes more money for some of us -- I can't seem to convert the AP partnership cash and make the same amount of money that I do w/ AP click.

The whole recurring income philosophy is partially flawed.

1. Most partnership programs don't pay you for the money that your traffic makes on a) email address collection b) upsells to other pay sites and c) exit traffic. Click programs take all of that income into account (hopefully) -- also you will notice that if there's a click program and partnership program version of the same site -- they will be different sites. Usually the click program site will be more profitable for the owner because they can use any kind of ads they want w/o complaints from the webmasters sending traffic.

2. Most of the partnership programs that I've used seem to make the *same* amount of money every month -- the exponential income is a myth... You may get lucky though and sign up some users that stay members for a year, but those profits will offset your losses of members that only stay for the trial membership.

3. If you are in a recurring program -- you're basically putting a LOT of trust into that company. If they go out of business, delete you account, you are SHIT OUT OF LUCK. It won't matter how many members you have under you -- in this case better to be on a click or per signup program where you get your money up front.
