% of sales is good for lower volume sites. To get paid per impression or click you need to generate mega traffic.

It definitely depends on your implementation. I would say pay-per-impression because it's guaranteed money and requires no action on the user's part. But pay-per-lead has a much higher upside if you do it effectively.

Welcome to TWF Jens,

I say a % of the sale is better. It all depends on what type of site you have and how you place the links.

A couple of affiliate schemes to try are:
tradedoubler.co.uk
cj.com

Where abouts are you based?
