Maybe I went to far to say they have to be scamming. Back in the day most programs were doing some shady shit. I know, I've been in this industry for over 8 years.
These days -- with popup blockers, a crackdown on spam, email filtering, surfers knowing to uncheck those cross sales, surfers expecting cleaner members areas...all of those additional sources of income are slowly drying up.
There is only so much you can do to cover that $35 payout for a $2.95 join. Personally, I don't like limited trials...we use a version of them but we give full access to the site you joined...the other 19 are the upsale.

I totally agree the margins have definatly shrunk over the last few years, but assuming both models are on the up and up I can't see how you can make the arguement that it is any different for revshare programs as they have to deal with the same issues, with the exception of people who have traffic that tends to produce 'savvy' surfers focusing on the the PPS programs harder.

You can only bleed so much money out of a trial join. There are a lot of trial hoppers out there...as I am sure you know.

Sure, but the thing that gets me in these debates is the implication that it's impossible to afford a $35-40 PPS payout without doing 'creative' business practices as it's simply not true. If a rev-share program can make you $60over a longer timeline then the PPS could in theory afford to pay you the same amount if they had enough capital to front themselves the difference over taht same timeline. It's really a function of growth and cashflow management (part of why rev-share is great for newer programs as PPS imposes an artifical cap on how fast you can grow, obviously).
