If you send traffic to people with a bunch of leaks, cross sales on rev share without affiliate credit, no credit mobile redirects, non-credited backup processors or that other stuff you need to realize you are being fucked out of money. I don't care what you say. If the program were more fair you would be making more money. If you and every other affiliate support programs who do these things then more sponsors are going to try to do it and you will continually make less as it goes on. This is partially what is happening and why it isn't worth it with most programs anymore. Only a select few are worth the bother.

The aff will always be the PMO's bitch, because the pmo spent a fortune developing the site and buying content and marketing it and everything else. The percentage they paid me was a marketing expense, but better than that because it was "unprepaid" marketing, you know? So it's all cool, until they get tricky and motherfuck around with slippery shit. Only thing supposed to be slippery is the hoes on the sites... right.. well that's not how this business works. It comes down to a good aff will ab test and whoever best monetizes the traffic will get it.
You're right about billing too... I've tried to tell sponsors, before, you need to implement a cascade.... um well we can't spend the money.. okay 30% of your sales are going down the toilet, I'll pull my links
