It really depends on what you are after...
But partnership is the shit IMHO.
Partnership (revshare) takes time to build, but if you continue sending joins, after a few months, you are gold for a LONG time into the future.
Partnership is all about consistency, consistency, consistency.
You are FAR better off getting 2 joins a day, EVERY day for 12 months, than getting 250 joins in 2 weeks and then stopping.
The cumulative effects of revshare are amazing.
And ALWAYS remember, program owners (just like us at
Curious Cash basically work ourselves on the same revshare principle - the recurring billing model is the shit, if it wasn't, NO-ONE would have rebilling, it would be one hit signups.
ANY traffic I EVER send to anyone else ALWAYS goes on revshare ... so I practice what I preach here.
As an example, I sent Python a couple of hundred joins on one account, with the last being in November 2002. I am STILL getting checks for several $100's a couple of times a month. No complaints from this end.
In more recent times, I sent several hundred joins to
http://www.celebsunzipped.com, on my own account, with the last in late December. With the wires coming through every week still I pay the rent and the car and still have change.
That ain't too shabby.
Another VALID point to remember was that if sponsors did NOT make more money than the pay-per-join offer, they would NOT offer it (I am ignoring the obvious shaving arguments - because the only thing
Curious Cash shaves is our boys - but i digress !!).
That is simple economic logic.
So if you want the quick fix, go with PPJ, but if you want to build a nice, steady residual income stream, partnership (revshare) is the ONLY game in town.
