So what is the goal? As a salesman? To sell - or to bring lots of customers without money into your shop? As I said, it is better to give less - but better. There are affiliate websites with quality and targeted marketing, making the same money as TGPs with 10 times more content and traffic. If the salesman is worried about rip offs, he should make sure the customers are not ripped off (promote the better paysites) - not give out everything for free.

I do not know if you can see the logic in my argument, but lets put it this way: In the past, and now, many webmasters are more focused on their PR and traffic, rather than making sales. If everyone is doing this, "adapting" and let the mass make up for their lack of marketing skills, now what is the point if everyone get the same PR? Tubes will not dissappear, but in the end (if everyone "adapt"), everyone will end up with same market share, but created a total market who are not willing to pay as much as before
