Affiliates who build new traffic networks to explore new niches need to make similar investments in various resources from media buying to employees to reach their goals. As such the investments are similar compared to programs, but of course, the margin is better.

I think what your saying is affiliates run a risk in terms of programs going under and not paying them?
Yes, that happens. And Ive had payments that didn't come for one reason or another. Bank issues, Program closes etc (thankfully not HUGE, maybe low xx,xxx being the most at any one time) But if I look at the $$$ Ive made and then the payments I got screwed on, Id think its WELL under 0.01%. Now most of the companies I promote ares LARGE, established programs who do and have done thousands of sales a day for years, so Im lucky. Im sure guys promoting smaller, niche pay site programs deal with this more often.
