well i am just one affiliate so speaking for myself. i'm taken what i'm given. i don't gravitate towards any program based on PPS vs. revshare. for me it's all about the content & niche. so i have a mix of revshares and PPS.
if a company offers PPS most times i take it so that I can feel out the initial conversion ratio without having to lose a lot of $/click on sites that don't retain. if it converts, and offers revshare, i will go rev for a least a short period of time so that i can see what their retention is like. there's quite a few programs that are ONLY pps and ONLY revshare. and i'm not the kind of whale that could/would call up a program that was rev only, demanding PPS.
again there are two sides to the story. assuming that most / all programs would prefer to be all rev share... how do i know that they're going to retain? the only way i'm going to know if it does is when i start throwing traffic at it, and it'll be months before i get an idea of a sites' retention rate. every program swears they convert and retain up the wazoo and that you'll make the most money with them and on and on. so while i'm not that webmaster that's gonna ask for crazy PPS numbers, the ones that are might have reason to want PPS for "trying you out". but again, this is not me.
if every program went revshare tomorrow you'd hear me crying the least of all people. but if a company wants to be revshare only then the primary focus should be on keeping members for as long as possible, not generating insane traffic numbers.
literally cuz i know quite little on running a program. just my observation. correct me where wrong
