That WAS the deal. And quite frankly it's been what's kept me and many, many other affiliates going for the last few years.
But I'm afraid that affiliate programs are starting to realize that none of us have the traffic that we had 3 years ago. And because of that none of us can send NEW sales the way we used to. (thanks big tube sites full of stolen content)
So it looks like a lot of them are realizing that they are paying us rebills for nothing. Part of the "deal" with revshare was it created partners out of us affiliates. And when the program converted well and retained we all made great money as we kept sending new sales and building and building.
And that worked great for over 12 years. Piracy has changed that. Pornhub has over 10 million people on it everyday.
And that's just ONE site.
So the affiliate programs are looking at their bottom line. Why should they keep paying me 50% of a sale I made a couple of years ago, when I can't send new sales at a pace to justify it? They are giving away HALF of their money to me as an affiliate for nothing in return.
I expect, unfortunately, to see this get worse and worse. That's why I keep saying that IF you have a sponsor who converts for you, then you better work your ass off and hang on to them for dear life.
Unless something happens soon, the entire affiliate model could be on it's last legs except for a very few people.
