Like I've said here and there and elsewheres, I'm a hobby guy. I don't do this to pay the rent. I do it because I enjoy being a part of the industry.
That's not to say, making money isn't a priority. Part of the hobby is making as much as I can with what I have to work with. And lately that challenge lies in acquiring quality traffic ( not just ) because of the consequences of the idiotic YouPorn model and the thousands of clones that have sprung up ..... without compounding the consequences with more tubes. Some of us can see the impact of our actions beyond the dollar signs. Some of us alway have.
So, my traffic must go to sponsors who make it worth my while as well as being worthy of my traffic.
JT and ColMike kiss and make up. Fine. Should I resume pushing the few RU sites that I was before they had their falling out? Ummm .....
..... not after seeing the extremes of TC's stats. I'll send what little traffic I do have to other sponsors who are
A] more worthy of it
B] who don't have mysterious billing/shaving/whatever issues subjecting affiliates with more traffic than myself to 40 day dry spells
C] are drama and controversy free ( aside from this thread )
and
D] who can convert better than 1:1000 because tons of their content isn't being handed to the public for free by the dumptruck load.
