That reminds me of my top-10 rules on how to run a successful affilate program:
10. Treat your affiliates like they're lucky to be sending you traffic
9. All surfers are suckers: it is your job to remind them
8. Start a war on every board and flame everyone that replies
7. Hire/fire your sales staff on a weekly basis
6. Go to every show, get wasted at every party and disrepect everyone you meet
5. Act like Internet porn is a get-rich-quick scheme, not a "real" business
4. Promise your surfers whatever it takes to get them to join
3. Don't waste time delivering what your promised
2. Keep your cross-sales in the fine print where they belong
1. Always remember: YOU ARE THE MOTHERFUCKING PIMP. THE WORLD IS YOUR BITCH.
