Shaving is the only way 80% of the programs out there keep the lights on. Most everyone shaves from small webmasters and people who just sign up and send traffic without contacting anyone, but when you have to shave every one of your affiliates significantly to be profitable you won't get other affiliate programs sending you their exit traffic, unless they're your buddies, and that is the best way to make big money running paysites.  |
It's almost impossible for a PPS program to loose money. Have you ever seen a 30 million + revshare program? Prob not even 10 million. The ONLY people that size are PPS programs. And they are the only ones that can reach that size for a reason.
Programs don't need to shave, and I really don't think many do. A shaving program is a dead program. The program doesn't know what the Webmaster thinks they should convert at. And the fact shaving is easy to catch when tons of webmasters do test signups...
