Some of the ones you're speaking of these days well it seems as if they think they are doing you a favor by letting you be in their program unless you run redtube. From past experiences I tend to know what that means and what will typically happen to such a business in due time. Usually I've been right. I only hope that what I send to the good programs helps to keep us both afloat while the others perish.

i am saying this part from an affiliate perspective.

if you want to have successful partnerships with programs you must understand that the relationship needs to be EQUALLY profitable.

given that rebills are not what they were 5 years ago, some programs are going to lower PPS to 20-25 dollars. those are the ones i will keep my eye on and promote, because they have a long term goal in mind for the new space.

if the program is not making money, there is no product for anyone to promote.

we as affiliates need to get off the "i have the traffic" horse. those with that mentality now should buy some shit content and just start their own shit program. it takes an army of people to run a solid exclusive program.

remember the money can only come from 3 places for payouts to happen the way they did for 10 years.

the surfer
the webmaster
the program

someone is paying for those high pps. in a large percentage of the current transaction scenario, it's not the surfer anymore. (yes there are exceptions where people are still banging cards like its 2002 again).

so, you have remaining the push and pull to who is going to eat profits to maintain a relationship.

this is where the current lines are being drawn. i hope the remaining people who haven't been gobbled up make the right decisions to help maintain a middle class in the webmaster community.
