Models need X dollars to justify doing what they do. Perhaps there lies the problem that nobody truly profits as they once did.
Why should you get 25% to 50% for sending general traffic for the lifetime of that surfer using the models and site names and their samples?

There are so few big players in this market and the sites and models can generate far better traffic than any affiliates sending traffic unless the traffic is found only by the affiliate and he is the only sender of the traffic. Buying traffic could be more profitable and less expensive, real marketing is the key.

You're not a partner in anything but expect to be paid as one!!!! How much time and oney did you invest?
