In other words.. If YOU ADVERTISE 100% AFF/Cams and absolutely nothing else, then carry on.

Anything else you may advertise (like competing cam/dating sites), well then you may be losing traffic/sales to aff/cams.
This is true, until another company jumps in and starts hijacking their traffic.

From what I've learned adware will hijack what ever traffic it's aimed at, by keywords. So if I want the "Dating" traffic for my site I just aim my adware campaign at anything looking for dating. Not financially profitable but illustrating a point.

So if the situation with adware increases more and more sponsors will be buying adware campaigns, simply because by logic they have more money to spend, so webmasters start to suffer more and more as their traffic gets hijacked.

Where does it stop?
