Just out of curiosity, how many joins a month do you think the AVERAGE affiliate might send a program?

AND... more importantly, why is it that you think that the major tubes aren't also affiliates?

I opened xhamster and clicked on a random video on the home page: http://xhamster.com/movies/2352614/f...gymnastic.html
See the affiliate links?

This is what is comical to me about this conversation. The guys who have all the traffic, have all the traffic. They are now the affiliates that matter. Traditional, small time affiliates are irrelevant. And the game plan is to attempt to coerce programs to abandon their largest affiliates for those that generate a tiny % of sales and 95% of support issues and other problems.

How is it that so many have no clue how this business works, but have such strong opinions about "what to do"
