value them in what way? sending a hooker to their home? giving them free porn? I see pps as being the only actual way to place a "value" on them.
If a revshare program would commit to giving me a "value" per member then i'd no longer call them a revshare program

Revshare programs as a general rule have NO idea how much their members are worth and are absolutely by definition refusing to define the value of a surfer. Ask a revshare sponsor how much a surfer is worth and their answer will be "50% for life!"... lol it's like listening to a MLM scheme
JMHO, but the only people who whine about "caring for the surfer" or "the long term value" are people who run revshare programs.
