CJ nailed it. Most webmasters pretty much insist upon being shaved. It's hard to get 'em to join anything that advertises less than $30-40 PPS. Try to run an honest program and pay say $10-15 per signup, and they'll laugh at you.
It's fucking stupid, but it's always been that way. It goes all the way back to Xpics paying 20 cents per unique. Your more likely to get a fair shake on a revshare, but the perception is still that you get your money up front with PPS. That has been true in the past, but with more and more sponsors setting the shave level to "fleece", I'm not so sure it's true anymore.
Meanwhile, smart money does same thing it always has....know your traffic, count your checks and not the hits, signups or anything else. He who pays the most for the traffic wins, regardless of the formula.
