I guess just the word PPS written in affiliate area makes their site members horny and want to stay members forever and hence justifies that $50 per pop
Is your math really that bad or are you really just that stupid?

If a 50\50 revshare earned you $25 that means the gross rev on that join was $50. Assuming no other auxilary costs in aquiring the sale, we'll keep it simple for you, if you only made $25 on a 50\50 revshare it doesn't mean they couldn't have afforded the $35 payout over time. The fact that a revshare program on average (just using the example that was given) pays less than a PPS program doesn't mean that they couldn't afford the $35+ payout it simply mean that for whatever reason the money isn't ending up in the affiliate's pocket.

For a 50\50 revshare program to payout $35 a join they need to make $70 a join. A PPS would need to make $40 to pay you $35 a join (obviously most make more I'm just making a point), and simply push enough volume to have their smaller margins cover their operating expenses.

The point of this exercise? Revshare programs need to be making double the fixed payout of a PPS per join to match a PPS program's payout. Think about that really hard next time before you start talking about the unsustainability of the PPS model why don't you, especially if you're going to go on and say people make more money with revshare models with your next breath.

Was posted above too I suppose but god damn just stop talking if your grasp of numbers is really that thin.
