I think it's really depends on the site ...

Most member's area suck and are not updated frequently enough to retain well.

That's why I like PPS more.

:2 cents:

I definately prefer revshare but as said earlier it depends on the site/sponsor.
:2 cents:

Let me repeat in a more clear way.....if sponsors dont update and dont retain...and they are still paying you like $35 a sale...they probably shave the hair of your balls and your balls with them...
So if you go for pps you still get screwed.

do you really think PPS program owners are just complete idiots with no idea how to make money or how to take care of customers?

Or is it more probable that they have simply realized that daily updates don't affect retention?

There's more than one way to skin a cat, not all sponsors rely on rebills to make money.

would you preffer PPS or REV with stable sponsors, such as NastyDollars or BangBros?

If the paysite has killer content that can keep members rebilling, then they want to do PPS.. because a $40 PPS is cheaper than paying 50% of a 19.95/month for a year.

Affiliates want instant gratification for their traffic, so they go for the PPS.

Those that do rev-share might fall into one of the following reasons:

1) don't have the float to carry having a big hit of signups and being able to survive for 2-3 months until the rebills are profitable

2) aren't sure of their content, and rev-share is the best way to not be in the black on the signup

3) have great retaining content but like to share the wealth with their affiliates

4) (feel free to suggest some other reasons why programs have rev-share).


PPS also invites shaving alot more than rev-share....

Those companies that have the capital to sustain operations and do PPS, are the ones that attract the big traffic and making the big dollars with their long-term plans.

Fight the necessary evil!

Can't blame a pps program if they don't do updates. Why waste money on updates if it doesn't make any difference for their affilate program. Just that when a affilate sees his ratios tumble and the members area is not being updated, shaving is going to cross their mind.

Karups kicks ass

I think a mix of everything is the best solution ...

Depends how fast you need your $ back too.

revshare is best for NON cookie cutter sites
