We had a much tougher time supporting affiliates in 2004, due to multiple factors. I look back on that time and only have regrets. For us, it truly is better and I don't care if you choose to believe me or not. We went from 1:20000 a few years back to 1:300 to 1:500 on tubes. If you don't believe that is possible or that I am lying then you need to come up with a better assumption why we are still around. If you ask those particular sponsors and or affiliates for a reason they will tell you it is because we have worked harder and smarter than most of the companies they work with.
Traffic is easier to get now as far as we are concerned. Converting it in the proper "join funnel" is the "magic" that is not so much of a mystery as it is a matter of hard work and strong analytics.
Oh, by the way, Homegrown just got listed at Rabbits as a top site so maybe you should start to reconsider the "I don't see you guys anywhere" chide. |
I apologize about any assumptions made about your company. yes, i don't know anything about you guys other than you've been around for a long time. I never should of made specific comments about your company.
that aside, you've proved kind of proved my point. affiliates are not needed, you've got the tubes. the tubes control 80-90% of the traffic, the tubes work with sponsors. the tubes are the only affiliates really needed now. if traffic is a lot easier to get because its all centralized at once place and there are a lot more people online now, i agree. however lets see how easy it is to get traffic for the average nobody who has limited resources and no traffic from previous projects, its not easy at all.
