If either of those two are bad (company's honesty or your traffic), you will get fucked over.

So ask yourself... is the company established, trusted and in good faith? Also ask, can your traffic support retention? In all honesty, traffic from a source of many options will seldom be as profitable long-term as traffic from a source of little options to choose from.
Believe it or not it's just the opposite. Yes revshare sponsors tend to be more stable. But with PPS you only have a month or two of earnings outstanding at any given time and you can switch your traffic up easily assuming you have an easy way to do that. If the PPS sponsor starts doing shady things or shaving you then can leave them and be done with it and move your traffic to someone better.

With revshare you may have thousands in rebills tied to that company. If they disappear you are going to feel it more. Even more significant is that there are more opportunities to be shady on revshare such as by shaving rebills. It's much harder to leave. It's also getting common for companies to run away with the rebills or start seeing affiliates with outstanding rebills as a liability.

This is why if you do have to work with shady people and you have a choice PPS is usually the better option. Revshare used to be called a partnership program so think of it this way: Revshare is a marriage. PPS is a one night stand.
