why don’t all like PPS?

Why don’t so many blogers and sites like PPS affiliate programs?
All want money for advertisement – but all who buy advertisement need sales.
If product is good - affiliate will get good money. Probably if affiliate site has unsold banner places – he may insert affiliate banners and get some money, until he will get new adv. order. Why don’t so many site owners like this way?

And I have some question, need your opinion: how to estimate affiliate site by amount of visitors?
I have such method:
numbers – for example 5% click on advertising link on affiliate site (if affiliate site theme is closed to product) – and only 5% make purchase when they see product. So to earn $20k per month we need
$20k / affiliate fee = number of sales (we need to divide twice on our %)

For simple I’ll make an example on my company affiliate program (PPS):
20k/ affiliate fee 35% its 17.49 = 1143 sales

1143/ (0,05 * 0,05) = 457 200 – its must be number of visitors of your site per month (quantity of visitors minus bounce rate) and probably affiliate will get $20k per month

It is true but not 100% true that affiliates don't like PPS programs. There are many affiliates who prefer to work for PPS program.

Now a days, major of the advertisement space on Affiliate Websites are reserved by Google Adsense and if there are remaining space then they will prefer to get paid for that.

But there are many niche categories where advertising in not happening or in small number, like Adult, Poker, Online Pharmacies etc.

So, it depends on the industry in which you are working. If it retail industry, you will find a lot many merchants and they will use the all spaces by Google as there is really low commission is being offered for that industry because the merchant have to spend a lot on Advertisements.

But if you are in niche segment, you can save that money and can offer to affiliates as well as affiliates don't have other options like Google Adsense because they will not give them desired income. Therefore affiliates will work with you.
