I agree entirely. So I'm sure CCBill will set up an option to share cross sale and all upsell revenue with affiliates and then all sponsors will enable these options on their rev share programs. Then again maybe hell will freeze over first?
There is a reason affiliates are leaving the business and it isn't because they are not driving revenue. It's that they are not getting an ever increasing portion of the revenue they are actually sending programs due to a number of factors. It's turning into a very poor deal to be an affiliate with your average adult program. A large portion of affiliates are too stupid to realize the various scams pulled on them but one thing even the stupidest ones understand is that their checks are getting less and less as time goes on.
The reality of the situation is that most programs could offer affiliates 100% rev share under the current terms and tracking and still come out way ahead. A 7% fee is nothing compared to what the affiliate is likely sending in 2011 and not getting a cut of.
