I was seeing how you guys felt about it all.

There are still reasons to choose PPS. So to leave it out will handcuff people a bit.

I agree with EscortBizPro on this topic.
I prefer revshare. Although I do mix revshare and PPS sponsors, revshare generates the majority of my income - by far. This may be because my sites are micro-niches, and my sales are generated through trust and familiarity rather than sheer traffic numbers.

I watch my stats closely, though, and there has only been one pay period from one sponsor where I would have earned more using their PPS instead of revshare. With my limited traffic, I'm going to make more from a quality revshare program than from a shitty PPS program.

Having said that...

If you want a huge influx of members to start with, you'll probably have to make a prepaid PPS deal with a few whales. To get a large number of webmasters sending a few sales per month, I'd say 60% initial and 50% recurring is a good deal.

To answer your question: Yes, I would promote an affiliate program that only offers revshare if it converted (and retained) well. I prefer it.
