I've run two affiliate programmes and I've seen the stats. It really is that 5% of affiliates bring in 95% of the revenue. You, and the other 95% of affiliates are just not worth the bother.

I bring targeted traffic and work in a much for focused way with the program owner/manager to bring sales than any employee would. They are simply not as hungry.
I was answering your questions in a general way: affiliates vs inhouse. Not in a personal way. Who really cares what I bring though. You were talking about whether or not programs still need affiliates. Many still do and they say they are happy that way. A few do not.
My answers reflected the fact that 'in house' employees do not do as good a job as some affiliates. Yes there are affiliates who suck, and in house would be better in those cases. Then there are affiliates who have been going for 10 plus years (myself included).
