I am a paysite owner and I have never understood why people open paysites and depend on all their traffic and sales from affiliates? Seems like a rather unprofitable business plan, or shall I shall...not as pofitable

when I open my paysites I get them listed in SE's for the right keywords, I promote them myself like mad, getting links, getting tons of traffic myself...then I open them to affiliates...cause the raw sales are what matters the most in my business model....yes, I love affiliate sales, they bring in a nice amount of money a month, but raw sales are what drives my site, and what makes me the most money....the only money taken out of a raw sale is 10% for billing....with an affiliate sale there is almost 70% taken out after it is all said and done

so, why do I hear so much about people wanting so many affiliates all the time and not wanting an SEO more? Are people just lazy and want to create the site and don't care about promoting it themselves?

if you wanna make the most money from a paysite, hire or learn SEO and do it yourself and depend on raw sales as your main source of income, don't depend on affiliates....

don't take this as me bashing my affiliates, I love them and they work DAMN hard to bring in a lot of money for me and my wife....but when I see an affiliate making more sales than I do, I immediately work harder myself to match that, cause if they can do it, so can I.

this is more out of curiosity than anything.....
