:stop Conversion is not only dropping because of the Econmoy or Tubesites... read on :

The main problem is ADWARE.

This problem affects ALL affiliates, because it is on top of all problems.

As an example, I will give you a link to a document that has been online in a hidden spot, available only for a very short time for those concerned. The link below is probably temporary, mirrored at the internet archive.

Lots of affilates are making less or no money at all because of the cookie stuffing and redirecting practices of installed adware on their surfer's computers.

The example of CJ is concerning mainstream traffic, but let me assure you this story is only a tiny piece of what is really going on at this very monent.

Because of this, affiliates lose income, and trust in their programs, and keep switching to find a conversionrate that's not there anymore. The programs lose their valued affilates and get a freakin' piece of hidden software as a surrogate, and get their traffic by the mercy of a few white collar thiefs who decide the destiny for all programs.
