AFF doesn't need affiliates. I wouldn't be surprised if they do more in sales from their own marketing then they do from affiliates. Even at that their top 10 - 20 affiliates probably account for 50+% of their affiliate sales, so all they need to do is keep a handfull of people happy.
I wouldn't want to compete with the company I am advertising for traffic. Everywhere you look AFF is advertising. They have the upper hand, they have the profit margin, resources, and buy in volume that none of their affiliates have. You couldn't come close to profiting like they do from the same traffic, for several reasons just stated.
So why compete with the company that has a big advantage over you.
On top of all this they hit you with zango and take even more of your traffic. They deal with the sites we are taking about here which hurts you with the other companies you advertise... yet people still want to do business with them... it is amazing but sad, and makes no sense to me.
