Not saying that it does...just saying that since it doesn't make any sense for them to give me 70% while they are making pennies...then they are forced to find a way to make their money. I've had plenty of programs offer me high percentages over the years, and some of them do pay me those higher percentages. But I always tell them that I would rather stay at 50/50 so everybody is happy and everybody makes money. A good program should be able to make you great money at 50/50 and with a lot less worry about shaving or cutting off your rebills down the road. If everybody is happy and everybody makes money...it's a win/win.

I think that depends a lot on how it's done.. Personally I'm dropping programs when they start any $40+ pps, promos etc. because I often see those sites having funny stats, or feel like you that shaving is going on.. I'm playing it by "if it sounds too good to be true.."
At the same time, if you have a good affiliate sending nice amount and quality, you want to pay him what he's worth, and I think our sliding scale is good for that.
Sure, we're not making much profit at 70%, but at that point we will have allready made our profit on the way up to the 70% mark, so it's only fair that the affiliate now makes good too.
On top of that we've probably got the most transparent system posible, as you can track your affiliate code any time, all the way to the signup form, and we encurage our affiliates to do test signups at any time they like, without any need to notify us before, during or after.
