Nonetheless, I think it's a great time to be an affiliate and would recommend it to anyone. I honestly don't see why so many people jump into the program game when they have no traffic lined up at all. It's sad to see people putting all their money and time into building an affiliate program, then be relegated to begging affiliates on a message board for a few clicks.

I also think the jump from everyong being an affiliate to everyone being a program owner is the reason you don't have a lot of good affiliates out there anymore.
Ken does real well with his review sites, as does Rabbits. The tubes and torrents have affected them as well...some surfers use all of our freesites as "guides" to tell them what to search for on the damn tubes.

I'm not so sure that the days of amateur surfers suddenly becoming affiliates and making bank are still here. I honestly think that the guys who have been in this game a long time are the ones who have built up the trust factor with the surfer. I've made my living by that philosophy for 10 years now.

And now to my main man pussyserver. Bro! I'm not a hater anymore! I'm your biggest fan! Now that BlackWidow guy? He seems to have you in his crosshairs. But not me. I now enjoy your posts for exactly what they are. Even when you called me disrespectful names earlier in this thread. I took it with a grain of salt. pussyserver: THE MAN! Hell yes!
