Oh Rly? Kinda naive. There are so many ways.... Remember your affiliate ID has to show up on the signup page.

Would you call leakage a form of shaving?

You are right about that. A site geared towards covering high PPS payouts will rarely ever work out well as a revshare site. The reasons are obvious if you think for a moment...

Similarly, if you cannot live with sites that have on-enter consoles, consoles between tour pages or excessive chains of exit consoles, leave them alone completely. It's rare to find strong tours on sites which are putting as many barriers as possible in the way of a sale, so at least check the tour out before going for a no-console option (and be sure you know exactly how much you will be penalized for going this route because some sponsors really take the p*ss).
