It's funny you should mention saturation. I think that's less and less of an issue these days as Programs (and affiliates) are sadly disappearing every day.
For those that control the traffic I think THEIR stuff is oversaturated simply because they put their stuff all over their own stuff. LOL There's no way (today) your average everyday affiliate, even those that regularly submit to tubes, could get that kind of real estate/exposure.
But also, as I always say, a surfer may see our videos or pictures on another website but if they see it on YOURS, and you do a better job of marketing it than the last time they saw it, you may get the sale. In fact, seeing it on other sites could act as a kind of "pre-sell" for you.
So as an affiliate I would worry less about the competition, which may actually be helping you, and more about marketing the material as effectively as possible on your own sites.
