Sure these are things you can write off on taxes, but remember this means you just don"t have to pay Taxes on that part of the income, not that you Have it in pocket!!!

You should assume the sites have these operating costs already anyway regardless of the affiliate revshare. The affiliate revshare is just an added layer to a healthy program, or else the program can't afford to stay open without affiliates anyway. Your fixed costs exist, and then you share the "extra" sales with your affiliates. If you can't afford to run a 50% program, then you really can't afford to run the program anyway.
