That is a lot of creative, and capitalized, misdirection of the fundamental driving advantage.
Control.
Whether it costs more, or not. Liability, or not. They know next month when they refuse to pay your affiliate $75/150/250 PPS ransom. They know when they have traffic in-house and control that they still have sales, and traffic in the hopper for next month.
That is a more stable, long term, business model then any affiliate PPS model is going to provide in the 2009 economy. Sorry.
Also, I am not just 'spit balling' these ideas and concepts. These points I have been making have been discussed at almost every conference this year that I have been to. Whether on a panel, seminars, or over drinks with BROS. They have also been mentioned in the trades in 2 of the past three months.
The industry is already moving in this direction. You need to get on the same page if you are planning to stay in it.
