But if I look at a 50/50 partnership it has to be on the profit to be straight. I can not give 50% to a guy for sending a member, then meet all the costs of the site and do it honestly.
OK I own the content and it is paid for by the magazines we sell to. Then their are the hosts, bandwidth, designers/webmasters, equipment to pay for. How does a normal site also have the money to buy the content. If they give a straight 50% away at the top? Unless they are not giving a straight 50%.
As I said I do not know, but it's just me working with a calculator and common sense. Next time I see a thread about someone shaving I will go do the maths and ask the guy who started the thread what he expected.

charly,
Don't talk shit about partnership programs if you have no idea what you're talking about, please. I won't even dare talk about content providers because I have no idea what the actual expenses are and what kind of profit can be made.
You CAN make a profit with a 50/50 program, and lots of people do without cheating their webmasters. Within the next month or so I'll have my program (I'm just one person of 3 involved) up and running, I have absolutely no intentions of cheating our webmasters. They'll be my bread and butter, how could I fuck them over?
Try doing the math again, you must have some off numbers.
