On the other end you have sponsors who are outright stealing from affiliates by refusing to pay old rebills or other such things. Somewhere in the middle is where we should be.
It's also one of the biggest myths that the affiliate doesn't have any power and is the low man on the totem pole in 2010. That's not true as long as you still have traffic that buys. You still have plenty of choices on where to send them, don't let anyone fool you.

note:
most of what you are saying is incorrect. the affiliates with traffic anymore are not on gfy. sad but true. it's the one sale per month wonders that are running around begging for these new pay methods mostly. they are also the ones that scream but can't back up bullshit on the boards. the 90/10 rule is in effect big time with the affiliate market. it used to be 80/20, but pretty sure it's close to 90/10 now. having traffic 4 years ago, and still pretending to have traffic now are two different things. that's what you've got going on here on good old gfy.
