Who here is willing to quantify "lots" more and come out with an estimated number?

I mean, even if not number of whales, but how many true affiliate joins do you all think are still out there? 20000 a day? 50000 a day?

Not counting non affiliate traffic sources like ad buys, type ins and such of course...

I am curious what you all think the market is really like today...a

Before you make an estimate, think about the revenue implication... 20000 a day means roughly 1m a day in affiliate revenue at a 50 member value which I think is fair... Possibly a little high for some and a little low for others... That's 30m a month, 360m a year in pure revenue generated by affiliates... Is that a feasible number? Or is it the 50000 which would translate into 900m a year in pure revenue generated by affiliates...

Curious to see what you all think...

Second step of course.. Are most of these really spread over a bunch of programs? Or is the main chunk connected to a handful?

I have my own opinion of course, but I would like to hear from others first...
