For us, it has been the reverse. Ever since we split with CE, we have begged for affiliates. We still have way too few affiliates for where I think we should be (try going from 18,000+ to zero and see how easy it is to bounce back). For us, we were forced by necessity to build our own traffic. However, I look at all these affiliates that bounce from one recently defunct program to another and wonder why they don't realize what we have or what stability we provide.

Looking at the tutorials Crak Revenue supplied for generating blog traffic, I think that is just one of the ways that even a complete newbie can get in and figure out how to start creating traffic pumps. In my opinion, making tumblr galleries is much less work intensive than the old heydey of creating good tgp galleries. The thing that remains the same is that only a consistent effort is required to get accumulating returns.
I agree that too many affiliates are short sighted and easily fooled by advertising campaigns and unrealistically high PPS. the crak tutorials while interesting also promote breaking TOS on the services they are using. I'm not a fan of having my work deleted. in the end it all comes down to time spent vs money made. if it doesn't work, people have to move on. most people don't have the luxury of being able to fail and keep working at it until it works. they need steady money coming and if it doesn't come in, they're fucked. i saw greener grasses elsewhere so i moved on but i still have 100's of adult domains that i contemplate working on but then wonder, am i going to spend weeks on these and make next to nothing? would my time be better spent on what already makes me money?
