So One Of My Accounts Got Switched To Revshare...

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???

So what you are saying is, you would rather see a program pay less to all webmasters to make up for what they lose on webmasters traffic that doesn't make money? If your traffic does recur well, you would make more with revshare. And it wouldn't be capped.

Don't get me wrong, I hate when a program does change a webmaster to revshare. And, I really hated telling webmasters and friends that their traffic was not really that good and we had to change their program structure.
