more like 101 clues that the affiliate programs are broke.


Some people keep saying " well they have over head and they can't afford to give away 50% to the affiliate and make a profit". Then how do they suppose they will pay for traffic on their own. Simple question. If they can't afford to give 50% of the sales to the affiliate, where will their traffic come from? They will need to buy it to replace the sales lost from affiliates. Good luck going out there and buying traffic from brokers and shit and breaking even much less making a profit. One big positive with affiliates, you don't pay unless there is a sale. You know what your profit margins are. Now they will have to buy their own traffic and they will fail miserably. They will do traffic buys that they lose money on.

It comes down to this, if you can't manage your expenses and make a profit at 50% then you might as well shut down the entire business.

However, we know this is all bullshit. These companies aren't doing away with the affiliate program in a misguided attempt to try to turn their company around. They know they are going out of business, better to keep the affiliates money now so they can live off of it for longer before they have to get a job.
