If an affiliate is worth ANYthing then they've learned at this point what they need to do to make sales. Newbies, while important, come and go but the real, sales-producing affiliates you need to find individually. An affiliate manager may help initially but, over time, the 2% of affiliates worth a damn will already be covered and then you're left with an affiliate "manager" "managing" a bunch of little guys not worth anyone's time.

Two cents.
you are assuming that everyone uses the exact same method to make sales, you assume incorrectly. I have changed peoples directions a number of times over the years, some of them very successful in the past but things changed on them for one reason or another. Good webmasters are constantly learning and follow the money, not just repeat what they know. You'd think someone with the access and the experience with as many sales techniques as I do would be worth something to someone huh? ;)
