Please discuss.
The risk factor is about the same IMO.
There are per signup companies that have gone under and not paid their affiliates....or disappeared in the middle of the night etc.
Much more so than IPSP's.

Also remember a sponsor can set your revshare percentage to zero anytime they want to and the processor won't do anything about it, since their customer is the paysite owner and not the affiliate.

There is no "safe" way to do business in a volatile industry. Hedge your bets, spread your traffic around and save your money.

Someone in this industry whom I have great respect for once told me don't count on ANY one traffic source or ANY one sponsor for more than 25% of your income. (I don't follow this advice but I should)
