I have to add an observation here from the side as well. A lot of program owners are fed up with the greedy affiliate model. And if you look at it you can see why.... now if you run a program you are asked to provide everything parties...,content etc etc before an affiliate will send you traffic.
Observe Lightspeed not accepting new affiliates recently. A very smart move on his part in the long run.
The affiliate marketing model is also going thru some changes as well. And I think in the long run it will be of benefit to us all.
The business has stagnated in terms of innovation for the last several years. Its only natural you see people trying different things. This BTW also includes Oprano. If you havent noticed.... Newton has been trying a few new things and by the end of the week the stage will be set to see what the next chapter holds for the board.
Somethings work. Some dont. Only thru chaos do you effect any change.
