Not counting any sort of recip arrangements with affiliates, there is a reason this idea has never taken off. Most programs realized the more work they had to do for the affiliate, the less the affiliate became necessary.
The conclusion I draw each time I read your post is that sponsors began to ignore affiliates before ideas like traffic rewards were implemented, in favor of other means of making sales that didn't consume the resources that an affiliates base consumed.

To which I said

Yeah, that sounds like sooooooooo much work.
So, let's agree to agree that sponsors bailed on the affiliate model in favor of other means of making sales without affiliates, while the act of rewarding affiliates with traffic is not and never would have been a burden.
