Lets say rebills didn't exists.

Would affiliates still try to make single sales?

I'm guessing they would and they would be satisfied with that ( not having known about rev share )

That scenario would be what you've described above and it has nothing to do with the program being able to retain its customers.

I'm not bashing the affiliate rev share model. I do think it benefits the affiliate much more than the program. I just don't think someone is being greedy by limiting the number of rebills an affiliate can receive and one year seems fair to me. Whatever the argument is for that would be the same for setting the amount of rev share. 50-50, 60-40, 70-30 or whatever.

I don't have a dog in this fight so I'm looking at this as an outsider as to what makes sense to me and I'm surly open to whatever makes the best sense
