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

I've just lost my cherry on getting an account switched from PPS to revshare, which was probably bound to happen eventually considering the number of programs I promote. Got the email today and they said there's no question about my traffic sources, just the performance of the joins I've sent. This happens to be a big program that I only started promoting recently, so I talked to my affiliate manager and he laid out the performance on the joins I've sent so far, which was honestly not too impressive.

The reason I'm posting is that I'm wondering if this is happening more often nowadays than it used to. Is it surfers signing up for trials and downloading all the content then cancelling? I promote a mix of PPS and revshare programs, and I do OK on the revshare so it's not like my traffic is worthless...just happens to be the joins I've sent this particular sponsor so far.

They were happy to give me members area access and the members areas looked good, so this is not a case of "nothing behind the tour" like I've heard so many times.

I should say that I've got nothing against the sponsor which is why I'm not naming them, just wanted to open up a discussion on the topic.

So what do you think? Is this just a "shit happens" situation that's bound to happen to everyone eventually, or just a run of bad joins?
