Unless you are a HUGE company like Amazon and you can sell "direct" to consumers affiliates are a major component of all online businesses.
But again Paul you fail to understand how a rising tide lifts all boats.

Thanks for confirming my post. No longer can sites rely on affiliates they have to generate their own traffic. Something fewer did 20 years ago. 1 sale a week per active affiliate is a nice bonus but does it run a real site with real costs and not a jumble of old material thrown together or cheap shit shot for a price. A site needs 100s of sales a week if it's to make a good profit do the maths with a $3,000 turnover and see what the income generated of it is.
Tell us what affiliates do that's so vital, so far only Glen has given an example.
Anyone would think the porn affiliate model is thriving with new affiliates, new surfers, new buyers pouring in by the hour. Truth is it's shrinking by the day. And you're mostly looking to other fields for the future income.
Give me evidence the porn affiliate model is growing because all the evidence I see is it's shrunk over the years. You can put up sites easy enough but that doesn't bring sales.
