No it's not black and white but both sides in this argument conveniently leave out information to make their side look better. 90% of your type in and se signups are probably related to what an affiliate did at some point in your sites life.  |
Great points that apply to 9 out of 10 paysites. If you owned "genericwhoresgettingfucked.com" you definitely have to have those affiliates with the backlinks going. No doubt. Good point.
On the other hand...the really good sites out there who go after a specific niche and/or feature a solo girl who fulfills a niche don't neccessarily follow that blueprint. Always an exception to the rule.
