I'd be surprised if the affiliate makes more than 15% of the sales he generates. And as such is the cheapest traffic out there. Try running an exo campaign and bring home 85%...

Well said.
Many of the program owners don't realize that a big percentage of their so called "type-in" and "direct" traffic are actually the results of affiliates promoting their site.
If affiliates didn't advertise their site all over the web, they would have a small amount of direct traffic.
It's no wonder that you rarely run into paysites without an affiliate program. It's not that they don't exist. They're just unknown and invisible for the most part.
