That's not entirely an EPC is king answer, cos it could be Program A wins the EPC race short ... or even, medium ... term. But I might still choose Program B if I though it would win the EPC race long-term.
So it's not as simple as saying it's pure per click math. There's also some long-term business judgment call in the mix.

For Program B to rebill at that rate costs money on content. So are affiliates willing to pay to allow the site to create such content? Try to create great content and pay out 50% or even 25% to affiliates.

Having said all that, Paul's argument would get him next to no traffic. If someone's only offering 10%, they are claiming they have an AMAZING product for it to be worth such a small cut, which would have to have an unbelievable conversion rate. That being the case, I'd ask them why they just don't go and buy their own traffic and convert that amazing product themselves.

Why do you assume a program paying out 10% doesn't drive it's own traffic? Explain what skills you have that demand 25%.
How much skill is required to write blogs, submit galleries, tubes, etc?
Of course if the product is so good they can buy traffic why bother with affiliates?
Models, Cam girls, amateur are proving that driving traffic is not the skilled job you think it is. OF is showing you how it should be done. This business is in sharp decline because we paid far too much for traffic the sites can't convert.
