the single most important factor to making money in this business is not revshare vs PPS. its how well a site sells with your traffic. you can promote a PPS sponsor at 1:10000, or a revshare at 1:1000, who you going to pick? and dont even focus in on ratios, how many pps sponsors build devices into their program that dont even track sales down to the affiliate, like not cookieing traffic to affiliates, putting their own account code on the enter link off index.html on the main domain, etc - then dress up the ratio by showing 2nd page, 3rd page, join page unique/ "qualified" hits. these are all tactics used to be able to pay out PPS. i only started making real money in this business when i started promoting solid revshare companies. how come almost every PPS sponsor uses proprietary stats software. why don't these guys count with nats, or directly thru ccbill which is going to give the affiliates the most sales? the amount of PPS programs who use a 3rd party to count, is an overwhelming minority in this business.

the true answer is, with some sponsors you'll make more on PPS, and other sponsors you'll make more on revshare. but at the end of the day, if a sponsor pays out $40 a join, but converts 1:10000, you think you're going to be better off cause its PPS, than revshare? thats why i always laugh when i see programs with insanely his PPS rates, because if its too good to be true, it probably is.

with what lenny was saying above how with a certain revshare program he was making $34/sale - $34/sale with a revshare program will make you a lot more than with a $34 PPS program, because at the end of the day, that revshare program will probably show a significant amount of more sales based upon counting techniques. obviously everything i say is relative to site to site and there are always exceptions, but this is looking at everything from a generalistic view of the industry as a whole.
