Indeed.
What is funny, and I was commenting to my friend at the Miami conference about this, is that now EVERYONE is in the traffic game. There were so many traffic brokers at the conference it was almost amusing. I guess when they can't convert their own traffic anymore, sell it to others to stay in business.
Now, I am not saying your traffic is shit nor implying it. I am simply commenting on the vast number of "traffic brokers" you are seeing show up at the shows. The ratios of these guys to some of the others in attendance has been increasing.
Which is odd, considering that (as you mentioned) many programs are going out of business. Who are they selling too? Desperate program owners trying to stay in business?? All in all just a sad state of affairs as people are clawing and scratching to not have to go find a real job.
You used to see these shows packed with the various affiliate programs, and what not at the cabana's. Now you get a few here or there, either well established or brand new, and then a flood of traffic dudes.
At least that is my observation. It is just a noticeable shift in the market.
