Evil Chris - I'm not posting this to dog you, but even a PPS program paying $25-30 is (in most cases) going to make more ON AVERAGE (I'm not talking 2 or 3 sign ups that rebill for 10 months, that is all figured into the average) than a 50% partnership program.
You can have exclusive content but that doesn't change the fact that SURFERS KNOW THE GAME. Sign up and cancel - that is it and that is how it works. At 50% to beat a one time $30 referral your memberships would have to be worth almost $75 and we all know that is near impossible across anyone's entire portfolio (let me do the math, 75% - 18% of chargebacks, refunds, and processing fees = $61.50 and 50% of that is $30.75)
Partnership programs are great for people who have absolute superior traffic that will refer members that retain far outside the industry average, otherwise PPS is the way to go and still will be. There is one MAJOR reason the largest programs are PPS and that is because they PAY MORE MONEY per click / membership!
