okay, yes - i'm sure you all know that i know the answer here. but humor me - i'm trying to help someone who is new to affiliate programs.

what is industry standard for revshare percent payout, one that lasts for the life of the member?

and program owners, please post what percentage your program pays and whether it is for the life of the member.

thanks!

Anywhere from 50% upwards in increments of 10% is what id say was the norm

I know there are a few programs that pay lower than that but, they get very little affiliates / traffic because of it.

On Condom Cash i pay 50% for life unless im running a promo in which case you'll get 75%

Regards,

Yes, I'd say 50% is standard. A few programs bump you up to 60% or higher depending on your volume. When programs drop below 50% I become less interested, especially if the join price is low. But it really depends on the site. If a bear site were only offering 40% I'd still probably promote them because there aren't a lot of sites in that niche. I'd use it as filler, but I'd promote the higher paying programs more heavily.

I agree ... to promote a site that pays less than 50% - it really has to be something very unique for me to even give it my time to signup, get the linking info, fhg list (if there is one), promo banners, etc. and then work it into my sites.
