Also, in opening the site I started it back in 2001. You could start a single site back then and do ok with it. Fortunatly, it became large enough to sustain itself over the years, but it would be almost impossible to duplicate today. The expense is just to great for the risk. EH will be the only site I do. It will always be my first and it will be my last. I guess you get burned out dealing with everyones hands out. I just think you have a sad point of view. You ignor all the creative, unusual sites out there, the smaller sites working to get by, for the larger mega sites. You really think that your not paying for that staff they have? You really think that they are taking less of a % from the sales you "Sent" them than some one me with a couple of extra ways for a surfer to signup? Give me a break. Everyone has to make a profit or we wouldn't be here. Promote the content that sells for you and stop whining about the little things so much. To call it "shaving" that dirty little word in our industy is stupid. It's not hidden. We are not trying to cheat you or fool you in someway. Shit in my case we dont have ANY popups, no consoles, no emailings. Nothing. A person gets to our join poage and either becomes a member or doesn't. End of story.

you have me all wrong. and you know why i won't have an affiliate program? because i don't want my stuff over saturated and i don't want to deal with the hassle of affiliates. i know its a lot of work but if you're going to have one, you gotta be ready for the work thats involved.
i don't want to promote oversaturated sites and i love the creative and unusual although the main problem i have with small programs is they often pop up and then close losing all your rebills. my first priority is making money, otherwise i have no reason to promote a site at all.
your site is unique for sure and that is something to consider when weighing out the pros and cons of a site/program. i wouldn't say most small programs are unique though, a lot of people seem to think they can spend a few thousand on non-exclusive content, pay ccbill 300 bucks to get an account and make a million with affiliates.
of course everyone has to make a profit, even affiliates. you really think affilites have it so easy? i've been doing the affiliate thing since 98 and its a very different world now compared to then. if you feel you have to use multiple processors without giving credit to affiliates why not just have them forwarded to the secondary processor after they fail on the first and not give the choice first off?
