Exactly. This is good for "indy" sites (aka one-site operations). I run one at (true) 50% partnership, and my affiliates make, on average, $27.50 per sign-up. Suddenly VERY competitive. And most of us indy sites have cb ratios well below 1% now so it business as usual.
I'm surprised frankly to hear that the big programs can't maintain $30 payouts AND a 1% cb. There's still all sorts of advantages that the big programs have over the indy sites that have no effect on cb ratios.
Maybe some of the big programs will opt for partnership over reducing pps payouts?
