Affiliate managers actually told me today they have seen no decline in sales on http. And my request would be taken in 'consideration'
This is some passive way to deal with affiliates, if you do not put your business on HTTPS, then you publicly admit you are not working for the interest of the webmaster. You are actually an asshole for handling the traffic from the hard working affiliate.
Anyway, if you do push your program here and you are NOT on HTTPS, then please delete it and go away.
