It all depends on how good they are at doing that. Say a program has 100 affiliates that are active and send a little traffic. Say these affiliates only send 2 sales per week to the program. That is 800 joins a month. Sure they could move that many joins in house. But what would be the cost of doing so. If they could hire a couple of people to work full time and generate that kind of traffic it is worth it. If they had to hire 30 people to do it, it isn't worth it.

Also, if you hire some people to generate that traffic, if they are good, you will have to pay a premium for them. If they can generate 300 sales a month they could be making 9-12K a month or more working on their own so I would assume you would have to pay them close to that to keep them.
