In the outbound traffic I manage I always prefer per signup versus rev share. There are a few programs out there that have great retention where rev share is going to make you more. These are sites that have unique content and a strong following or brand (cali pimp for example). On our URentDVDs program for example, we offer a partnership (revshare) type payout or a per-signup payout. While our retention is outstanding on URentDVDs (
