I guess what I am asking is this: Why should someone make more money for putting up a link, than I do for shooting the photos, prepping the photos, building the website, and updating the website?
Yes, I know it is the way it is. But I think the way it is is on crack.

It's been explained I thought. You earn less than the individual webmaster, but the volume should more than make up.
However, it's all money you simply would not have otherwise so why the confusion? A guy spends his time getting traffic to your site (and often money too) to get you a signup he deserves the reward. As long as it costs you less in BW/admin than you earn from the signup where's the problem? Again, it's a signup you would not have had without him. He's done the work to get the sale (other than your tour pages) and you've done little other than sit back and say 'thanks for the extra $'s '. You can't really lose.
