Most affiliate reps are useless. If they truly understood the very things they are giving advice on, they wouldn't be affiliate reps. They'd be managing their own media buys, their own sites, their own traffic and so on.
Structure your business to not be dependent on any sponsor. Yank the traffic as soon as you smell a rat. If they don't need your traffic and your relationship - you don't need them. Build your relationships carefully and nurture only those relationships that are right for you and your business and where they also are attempting to nurture the relationship as well. Your time should be valuable. Don't waste it. Don't invest that valuable time in useless assholes (which this biz is full of)... Invest it where you'll get the best value and maximum return.
