The "BIG" affiliate programs that have a ton of sites, PPS or Revshare options have never been practical for me. I only send a few hundred hits a day and they are definitely geared toward thousands of hits per day. I am using only one of them now and am about to pull them entirely, simply because they play games wth my traffic and I don't appreciate it. Not to mention signup ratios of 1/2000 or worse.

Any affiliate program that uses consoles, offers ridiculous payouts and cookie cutter sites just raises too many red flags for me. Someone's getting rich off of them, but it usually isn't the person sending the traffic.
