Agreed. I had said the same after some conferences in 2008 when BROgrams started publicly talking about bringing more traffic in-house and not being held hostage by the whales and PPC.

I do not thing the affiliate model will ever completely die. I think PPC will actually start coming to more realistic numbers, and you will start seeing more rev share being the only option for some programs as well as their T.O.S. changing.

People are simply going to have to do more with less.
