There are a lot of "behind the scene" programs that make millions and don't have more than 20 affiliates and they are by invitation only.
At some point, smart business owners are going to sit down and see how much ROI they get for giving out $200 of free drinks and lap dances to someone who sends them 2 sales a month, in addition to the salaries and benefits they are paying employees to cater to the "little guys", plan lavish parties, etc.
I know 99% of the posters here don't want to hear this, but if a lot of these "companies" start actually acting like buisnesses and have P/L statements, etc., having small affiliates really won't be worth the effort.  |
no one is born a whale and 1-5% of those minnows will become whales further down the road.
regarding zango, all of the dating sites like aff, sexsearch etc should multilaterally agree not to use them, and then none of the programs lose out to each other (if the bigger programs like aff and sexsearch agreed to do this the smaller ones would have to follow). and if one breaks the deal, affiliates should then boycott that program until they come back on board.
