There are a handful of Mega Affiliates like Pornhub, XVideos, etc. These sites have huge amounts of traffic and therefore can send relatively large amounts of traffic to Sponsors. Sponsors either buy ad space on these sites and/or submit content (pictures and videos) directly as a trade for traffic (banner/text links back to Sponsor's website)

Then there are the hundreds of "little fish" that own small tube sites, review sites, blogs and the like. They may only be able to send relatively small amounts of traffic to a Sponsor's paysite but theoretically that smaller traffic is more targeted so the conversions should be higher.

So: big sites send a lot of joins while the myriad of smaller sites collectively send a lot of joins. As a Program Owner I value and respect both levels of Affiliates because, in the end, they are essential to my success (and theirs). It is a symbiotic relationship.
The big tubes, affiliates who can send 100 sales a week will survive.

You then go on to say sites submit, buy ad space. How many sales do you generate yourself and how many do affiliates, are you reliant on your affiliate work for part of your income?

Where are all the new customers coming from?

Do you have any idea how much was made in porn pre-Tubes?
