Pencil in on the spread sheet under advertising expense:
Jim Noob, $60,000 for sending 5 joins and winning our contest.
Now thats how I would like to see an affiliate company spend my money  , Hell I would rather the owner of the company fucking keep it, smoke it, or blow it at the casino before they give it to someone who did 1/10000000th the work that I did for them.
Some companies need to start thinking more about taking care of the people who take care of them and less about trying to pull shit like this and call it " Advertising".

If they spent that $60k there or on board advertising, it's the same.
the point is to boost the affiliate base, and it definitly works.
100x new small affiliates or 5 big ones don't make much of a difference.
The point of contests is advertising... they just give it back to a random webmaster instead of webmaster sites owners.
