This applies to now, not 10 years ago. Affiliates who promote 100s of programs aren't much use to those programs unless they send enough sales to warrant making an invoice once every 3 months or less.

DDF produces good content that costs money, so if affiliates want 50% they had better make sure they're sending enough sales to make it worth the affiliates time to issue invoices. If you think programs are falling over themselves because you send 1 or 2 sales a month, you're obsolete to them.

Tubes need 100s of programs to fill their site more than 100s of programs need them. Today programs need the big boys of the industry more than the little guys. It's not 2004.
