I agree fully.

I did a little test on my traffic last year and found that when all was said and done I made almost the exact same amount on revshare as I did on pps. The difference was that for revshare I had to wait for anywhere from 3-6 months to get paid all the money since you get paid out as rebills hit and with pps you get paid right away.

So to me it isn't really worth it. There are some programs that I promote that only do revshare, and I still promote them, but I don't really make any more than I would if they were doing PPS.

Plus Revshare really isn't a true sharing. Many revshare sites have exit consoles that you don't get paid for or other traffic leaks that you don't get paid for. They have cross sales that you don't get paid for and upsells in the members area that you don't get paid for.
