Yes I know, I was being sarcastic in that statement
See my earlier comments, in response to people who that "if the traffic is so great, why would a publisher be selling it" ...
<sarcasm>Yes, because clearly all advertising networks on the internet try every single affiliate program out before brokering it to advertisers. You know, to see if they can make sales with it.</sarcasm> <-- WHAT?! You cannot be serious.
Ad networks are not in the business of sending traffic to affiliate programs. They are in the business of brokering advertising space.
I've heard this argument so many times it's ridiculous. "Well if the traffic was so great, then why would the publisher be selling it?" This is a moot point. Publishers (in mainstream or adult) sell their ad space for a variety of reasons. Pertaining specifically to affiliate programs, they would rather get paid a fair amount for their traffic and not have to wonder if they'll ever get a check from an affiliate program (just a thought).
