This topic is SO tired that I almost think sticking a pencil in my eye would be less painful than reading it, but the reality is PPS is the most successful pay model to date. Revshare, PayPerClick and all other models to date come no where close to the success of PPS.
Why? because it works for all parties involved...
Programs don't have to shave to make it work either, here's a thread which will enlighten some of you...

Last here's a real life example, I get a check every month from a Revshare site that I quit promoting in 1999 and there is still 6 rebills every month for which I recieve $17.97 each...
So for those 6 joins, I have recieved somewhere in the neighborhood of $1132.11 for EACH one for a total of $6792.66 and counting...
I'm sure that the program owners would have loved to give me just $35 on those... or a total of $210 instead of $6700+... On top of that, they could have emailed them other offers, sold them penispills, live chat, etc in the member areas for even more profit...
