You have been brainwashed like a good little sheep. Who told you they couldn't pay $30 per sale without certain traffic leaks, the sponsors?
So what about the 3 programs that don't use this method, they will go broke or have to pay $20 per signup instead? Nope. The reason sponsors say they can't afford $30 per signup or more without this and without that is that they ONLY count stats from an affiliate. Very few take into consideration that the massive number of type-in and other no ref signups that magically appear (came from affiliates) as well. If they really wanted to divide the money up at say 50% to the affiliate the payouts would be a little more than $30. ;)
Affiliates brand sites so well in such a short amount of time that programs could shut their doors to affiliates and make money forever on the branding that they had received up to that point. The affliates should get a fair fucking shake and if a sponsor wants to do shady ass shit like this they should be 100% up front about it where NOBODY could say a word.
And for those that don't want to read all of the above here is the short version, If sponsors weren't making a killing paying your ass PPS then they wouldn't be driving $100,000 cars and living in million dollar homes while vacationing in Costa Rica and going to 42 webmaster shows a year.
