Not that 1000 hits means shit anyway. It could be 1000 trash traffic hits, its sales that matter.

I can send you 1000 hits a day for about $4 does that make me a genius too ?
I understand what you are saying and what he is saying. I think what Robbie is saying is there used to be a lot of significant affiliates. 10+ sales a day 5+ sales a day etc. Now those numbers have dropped substantially. I know my strategy for our paysite business is simple. Affiliates are icing on the cake but to survive and be relevant in 2, 3, 5 years from now we have to be really good at buying and converting traffic. It's that simple. You have to control the traffic yourself. If you can do that well then you'll obviously be able to make affiliates happy and continue to get their traffic.
