Poker sites make money for every hand dealt... Regs play more hands then fish, but regs also will move sites based on where they can get rakeback.
Also, the sites themselves don't give out rakeback, the affiliates usually do... Affiliates get tiered payments for bringing more rake to sites and can often get "CPA / One Time" payments for low volume players over "25% of the player rake". Basically the CPA payments balloon like crazy when you have more rake so affiliates started giving rakeback to huge horses and then signing college kids and getting paid $250 a pop instead of the standard $50
