affiliates in the meaning of 2005 are not exiting any more or the survive with some 3-4-digit number.

affiliate biz was overtaken YEARS ago from media buyers and media buy agencies with a few hundred employed media buyers.

if you are not doing 5-digit per month per affiliate program today you are a nobody and you will not be able to compete with the ones that are driving this market.

big media buying companies are calculating in a 5-10% net-ROI and their problem is not the ROI but getting that much traffic that hey can invest a few million per month to make a profitabel biz out of that.

imagine if you have a few hundert million and you go to your bank and ask them for 5% interest PER MONTH what they will tell you.

i can not believe why so many old fashioned guys are not able to calculate that even someone with 10 million cash to invest (wich is a fucking poor) make 500 K EVERY MONTH with that if he only on 5% ROI. why do they think that these people are sleeping?

and WHY does any "yesterday affiliate" think that he can get better conditions as someone that invest that much money in traffic and come up with 5-6 digit signups every month?

i think a big part of this biz have lost the relation to the reality.
