Do clickthrough program operators have a clue?

KK, are you forgetting that I owned a program for years?

I don't know which program you are working for now KK, but post it and lmk and I'll send ya a thought or two. Thought you were working for Epass now.

Nah, I'm not forgetting a thing. You'd probably be better off starting some new sites and sending traffic to them yourself than trying to be an affiliate now imo, but that's up to you.

I don't really work for anyone these days, I've got content contracts with movie studios and produce a turnkey VOD backend for a select group of programs, underwrite merchant accounts, and work with a mobile content delivery company on biz dev and market strategies for adult.

I also happen to believe that the affiliate program has brought this industry to its knees in many ways and if it went away tomorrow, I wouldn't shed a tear. Surfers looking for porn would still be out there just like they are today, but the inflated and overpriced payouts that programs promise coupled with the ever shrinking margins they end up with because of the same thing is just not a viable business model if you look at it from a purely economic standpoint. BillPMB's comment pretty much summed it up.
