It's all about the traffic so WHO gets it for you, in the end, doesn't really matter as long as it's working for YOUR company.

But more to the point: looking to hire someone, full-time, to either 'manage affiliates' or 'get internal traffic' depends greatly on a program's existing affiliate base and its' current traffic sources. Every program would need to make it's own unique decision, I would imagine?
BIN-GO!
It's all semantics. Organic traffic with relevance and intent is king. You can build all kinds of biz models to make it work for you. Bigger organizations packs more punch when it comes to traffic harvesting but there are lots of room for smaller entities/individuals to impact distribution of traffic.
