I have worked for program owners, and of course I am an affiliate, so I see both sides.
Again, not all programs have upsells, cross sales, and so on.
Just remember you wont change how a program operates, so promote the ones you think no matter what the marketing makes you the most money.
There is no answer to this, since every program has many different ways they run things, bottom line is the amount of your checks for amount of clicks sent.
Oh there is a lot more bills than the few I listed, I was just giving an example.
I think Program owners should be thier own best affiliate so they can see.
and if affiliates think it is so easy, why not start your own program.
If you are not making what you should with a program, why keep sending traffic?

Good points, I agree. But part of the problem is that rev share (98% of ccbill programs are rev share) is a long term deal. I could have 100 rebills a month with a sponsor who then decides to shut down the site, start another one just like it with with a different processor, then email all the old customers I sent offering them a free month and subsequent membership to the new site for 70% of what it cost before without paying me another dime. What can I do about that? Nothing really. It's important that the people you do business with aren't scumbags and that's getting increasingly harder to avoid. I had my own program once that's how I know about the type-ins.
I closed it many years ago for personal reasons and left the business for a few years.
Don't get me wrong I don't think your average program is very lucrative in 2011. Part of the reason is that affiliates are leaving left and right so the free or low cost traffic sources are disappearing. Now they actually have to be their own best affiliate or revenue will drop.
