Now if you take what I said there and envision how much it affects everyone as a whole in terms of traffic trading, ad buyers (different mediums) + how many people were 'infected' **installed on MySpace users computers without their knowledge it was reported** and how big the impact is there - then you will see why it's costing more to make equal or less than what it used to cost you approximately 18 to 24 months ago.

Now think of who generates a lot of the traffic and keeps building pages/sites/networks to gain more traffic - it's affiliates/webmasters. Who's getting screwed on the frontline? Affiliates/Webmasters. Sponsors get screwed too - hijack of traffic destined for them, conversion decrease, affiliate blame, affiliates shifting to other programs, the cost of advertising spots themselves - this is huge even if it initially represents only 5% of your traffic. As a whole, in the industry, once it's hit a few affiliates and programs and during the course of every porn surfing moment of a potential customer, then it represents a whole lot of money.
