Starting in 2008/ 2009 I was still running AVN Online and Internext- when the affiliate program implosion started happening. Silvercash was first, they pulled their two page spread in AVN Online and the rest of the companies fell like dominoes in the next 6-8 months until the magazine folded into AVN magazine as a section.

I moved into the traffic after that which was good for me as much of the economy shifted from affiliate programs to traffic companies and publishers.

Honestly I think of cams and dating as separate sectors of the larger "adult world", without them many in this business would be out of business including the tubes.

It really does no good to bitch and moan about how bad things have gotten - get off your ass and find a better way, a better traffic source a better business plan.
