Then explain to me why these programs don't increase payouts when the webmaster sends above average traffic. You may be right though as it might not be about ripping off their affiliates directly. Maybe they know they can only afford to pay $25/signup but they offer $35 knowing they can break even by dumping below average accounts. In other words it's sort of a revshare program in disguise. If your traffic isn't profitable, you get a "revshare" payout; however, if your traffic is profitable the amount you make is capped. Quite a brilliant idea - design a revshare program that caps payments so no one will be making more than $35/signup and call it a pps program. And you're telling me this isn't a form of cheap changing webmasters???
