Quoted for Truth. Also, I'd like to add: having affiliates mean having free RESEARCHERS. There's tons of free traffic on the Internet--both from proven sources and recently evolving sources. A % of the affiliates are those on the forefront--digging, prodding, scrutinizing, tweaking ways to get traffic from relatively unsaturated sources.
