In business there is a cost for everything, that's a given. But it has been pointed out in this thread that some programs maybe be eliminating affiliates and going to just in house promotion. I cannot see where that will be cheaper in the long run.

When affiliate marketing started was that not the founding principal. To have affiliates promote and increase traffic to a program. So that the program could spend more of it's efforts on building a better program to keep customers. And if what you just said in #1 above is true that too little emphasis was put on keeping the customer happy. Then how is getting rid of affiliates going to improve the success of a program?
I do not have an extensive knowledge of the adult business. But I do have years of experience operating a business. And the basic business principles I have followed over the years do not seem to apply to many in the adult business.
What is really ironic is when I clicked the post message button just now I had to re-login. Well this is ironic because there was a big ad from adult.com for Affiliates. Interesting..
