this is not about sales anymore this is about PROCESSING. Would you rather process 20k and get paid? or process 100k and get shut down?
program owners understand this now.
affiliates are 100% of the problem. Affiliates have no tie to the "brand" of a site and in reality do not care how they push that brand just as long as they make a sale.
The credit card companies do not care anymore. After shit hit the fan last year with negative billing they are closing up shop on everyone who may even as so smell of anything shady.
If you're an affiliate in general start to look into your own solutions. Few will take the advice. But if you cant see the shit storm ahead you arent a real webmaster anyway.
There is a real credit crunch happening in the world. Tie that in with the general view of pornography. There lies your answer.

I'm going to rip you a new asshole, just because I'm bored.
Actually, I thought you had just curled up, crawled into a basement conber and just quietly died somewhere. You've always been a confrontational piece of shit. None of the garbage you have spewed over the few years you've been a member has been relevant. Its all about you. Oh, Metaman! Will you sign my 'taint? I worship the ground you hover ever so slightly over. Dude, you are an embarrassment to this board.
Tell your mommy to get you a glass of water, and take your Ritilan. We're gona have a Palaver.

Most affiliates are idiots, granted. Its a hard job, this online marketing thing. Sometimes I think to myself, "Would I rather make $50k a year doing this, or should I lease a
general store and try to cough out a living selling cigarettes and milk?" Hard decision. I choose internet marketing. It works for me. You might be better off selling Lay's chips and Gummy Bears. I only say this because you cry. Like a girl. And crying girls do well as cashiers.
I know that this board is full of millionaires like you, Metaman. I also realize that anyone making 30k-50k is a loser.
In all honesty, though, this is the best job on the face of the fucking earth. Unemployment rate=zero. If you can manage to haul your fat "comic book guy" ass out of bed and be civil with your future superiors, you might have a chance at survival. There are a LOT of people at GFY who will happily lend you a hand. And maybe - just maybe - one of the people that currently makes no money may just fluke out and start pulling in huge dollars in a few years. Who's to say? Not YOU!
Speaking of making millions, God knows you haven't. You've been here since 2003 (I think that was the figure posted. I may be wrong because I've never read anything your fat basement-dwelling fingers have typed...) and you're STILL insulting newcomers.
Maybe one day I'll actually argue why affilates aren't irrelevant. Hint: For every brogram that shuts its doors to affiliates, there will be ten niched sites that want my traffic.

That's not even fucking English. That is some random
beating off dialect. I am not a program owner and I am not processing any sales. Neither are you. But at least I'm not typing with one hand while I pound my pud and hit random letters on my keyboard.

Zub zub zub? What relevance do you have to anyone who processes affiliate sales? Maybe you do. I don't know. For all I know, you're the head of scrubbing at CCBill. I have an itch that tells me you're just a fat dude who likes to bitch. The only thing you control is nothing - including your own irrelevant opinions.
Why the fuck would you care whether some company you have no control over can process credit cards? You. Are. A. Fucking. Retard. Say it again, bitch.
You have no control over the processing of anything ANY affiliate might choose to sell. Shut the fuck up, you fat stupid idiot. Shut your mouth and start blindly hitting your screen, your keyboard, your dog. Close your eyes and flail blindly like the baby you are.
Nothing you say has any relevance. You control nothing. You influence nothing. Fuck off.
I can't believe I just wasted this much time responding to three of your "paragraphs".
You have the entire world figured out. Unfortunately, you got it wrong. Nothing you typed here has any relevance. Go back to 2003, fuck head. I'm more interested in what the noobs have to say.
