Think Cross Sales Werent a Big part of the Biz?

Ten years ago, back in 2000, JoeE from CEN was in Montreal seeing a girl he met at the WebExpo show in 1999. We'd get together for dinner whenever he came into town. Even back then he saw the writing on the wall and that what they were doing wasn't sustainable in the long run. He also thought it was funny that there were webmasters who didn't think there was shaving and other shady tactics going on, in order to cover those ridiculously high pay-outs! And remember, this was all 10 years ago.

He even talked about how he wished they never got into their dick swinging competitions with CE and RJB and the rest, and that the majority of their money was just going right back out to cover affiliates. That was before the really dirty tactics even started!

The only problem will be getting the average webmaster to support the smaller programs. The vast majority are just followers, always have been, and just follow the GFY trend of the moment. It's still all "Bros", and I really don't see that changing. These people would rather get a free beer at a show than make some real money with a proper program. It's the way it i now, and the way it has always been.
