No Respect I tell ya!

(with Props to the late great Mr. Dangerfield)
There have been 2 posts lately that have inspired me to create this one. not wanting to hijack anyone elses posts.
[rant]When I started in the biz (well after some of you and well before others) there was really only one major way to make money if you were not a paysite owner. That was sign up for a partnership program from someone that had a paysite. (oh sure there was this ONE program that offered pay per click, but you had an 50/50 chance that when you were owed BIG money that the owner of that program would change the TOS and now you were violating it and no check was coming!! LOL) I am sure there were other ways to make money, but this one was the prevelant way to make some green. And it was good too...... very simple math. Sign up for the program of your choice, send them traffic, it converted, you made 50% of the money. Then toss in 50% on recurs and you stood a pretty good chance at making some money. It might take a few months, but after awhile. You could make a living at it. I knew one guy who was making $7000 per month from one site alone.
I know the dynamics have changed. traffic is harder to come by. a lot more webmaster competing for what seems like a smaller portion of the pie. But still, it seems to be that the 50/50 rev share is still the best way to go IF the paysite your traffic is signing up to is a quality site. Why then is there, or does there seem to be little respect for programs that offer 50/50 rev and no PPS? Is this a sign of the instant gratification culture we have all been exsposed to since birth? Or something else? Do surfers have such a small attention span that even when they find a site they like they dont recur?
Whats changed?
Do you sign up for the paysite to see if there is a reason for a surfer to stay?
What does a 50/50 program have to do to draw you in? Convince you to try their program?[/rant]
