- PPS is much better for the webmaster's cash flow (VERY important when buying PPC)

- Usually in Revshare you rely on the program trying to keep the member and not just upsell them left and right. How do I know they do this, or will keep doing this
Actually I find revshare to be better for cashflow because if I have a bad week/month for new sales I still have lots of rebills coming in.

I've thrown traffic at ALOT of different programs over the years, and I push revshare almost exclusively.

I don't make anywhere near $35 per signup on my revshare joins, however, using my sales per impression guage that I mentioned before I get over 2 times as many signups pushing revshare programs compared with similar ads/niches/traffic going to a similar per sign up program.

Your mileage may vary, do what works for you
