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.
