Let's play this game:

1 in 10 surfers to your blog, tgp, free site, guide, whatever clicks on a sponsor link.

1 in 1000 of those that click a sponsor link actually signup.

say 20% of all surfers are infected with spyware (low number, I have heard numbers closer to 50% in some cases, probably better now as Microsoft is giving away their malicious software removal tool).

1 in 10,000 turns to 1 in 12,000, straight numbers. But in reality, it gets worse, because the people most likely to have the spyware has hardcore porn surfers. So the number is likely much worse when it comes to porn.

It gets worse if the spyware companies are popping the same site over the one people are going to (or a very similar competitive site) as you are not only losing control of the surfer, but they are going to steal sales as well. 1 stolen sale moves your from 1 in 12,000 to 1 in 24,000 in a blink.

The numbers are truly depressing at times.
wrong math: first according to my stats, there is near to 5 per 1000 users with zango on the most popular website. Also the users that ar the most infected are not porn users, but software and screensaver users.
Of course zango is not alone.
There is 10% of clicks and 1 per 1000 of sales.
so 10000 users: 1000 clicks and 1 sale.
With 50% of spywares:
20000 users: 2000 clicks: 2 sales, 2*50=1
so the problem is here the same: you start from 1000 and you go to 2000.
With 50%
Buy with shavers you have 99.9% of spyware users.

Also there is no reason to think that people that are hardcore surfers of porn sites are the most infected. Customers are probably more entrusting the web
to give their credit card number. But to install something you have to trust softwares, also my own antivirus even detect the alexa toolbar.
