If a partnership arrangement, what percentage would the partner own and what percentage would the partner make for commission?

Actually over the years (and offers received) they tend to vary. Which is why I am keeping my options open in looking for the right fit.
Ultimately, I simply want to handle the production, and new ideas of my business. I no longer want to deal with the traffic maintanence and marketing aggravations of emerging traffic trends and promotion. I know what is needed moving forward, but I do not want to be bogged down in the daily aggravations.
As you can see from screen shots from some pay sites here

I obviously know what I am doing on SERPS, and converting sales. But it really needs to be stepped up. A lot more money to be made. However, I really prefer to work on new sites and creative things. But there are still parts of the business that require attention, and can generate a lot more money.
The reason I touch on some of the things you have mentioned (although very briefly, and I can see why you would be confused) is that I have had people contact me that want 50% of the revenue or more. But want to invest nothing. Maybe some time. Some offers also do not want it to be performance based, paid on merit. They want to essentially look busy and draw a pay check. Or those who want me to basically give them a budget, and they spend my money, and THEN get a more than 50% share of revenue.
Those are unrealistic.
