Affiliates used to be a good thing in the past, when they actually had traffic, but nowadays affiliates don't matter much since very few have their own traffic sources.
P.S.
My initial argument to Paul Markham stands: it doesn't matter that you sell what is already available on 100 other sites. What matters is that your site gets shown to surfers first, so out of 100 similar sites they buy yours because they see it first. Traffic is king, always has been.

Of course showing it matters. showing surfers something they want to buy is more important. Your stats prove that.
Traffic has to be second to Content these days. Because sending 58 million (158,000 a day) people to a site that offers nothing 100s of others offer. Doesn't convert at 1-1,000.
Getting that much traffic in a year is also an indication you buy traffic. Which makes it even better stats.
Of course simple to just show the site. I'm sure many here know it if it's so great.
Of course, if I'm wrong and you get that traffic any other way. You are indeed a god among men. Not sure everyone here will agree that affiliates don't have traffic. I tend to agree with you that most are a waste of space.
