Only because larger affiliates have been doing ok. If the trend moves towards eliminating affiliates,I see larger site owners getting their own programs going. There aren't a lot of options other than closing up shop. And I can't see that happening. Any of the large site owners could easily finance their own programs if they wanted to. I think it will continue to be harder for the small guy or startups to make it.
