Mayor, did you seriously call me a fucktard back there, inadvertently?

I send some programs very little trickle traffic, and others get significantly more. Some programs convert, others don't! I have somewhere near 100 sponsor acccounts, and if this becomes normal practice I will face a serious dent in my business.

I know some people send all their traffic to one or two sponsors, and that's fine, but some affiliates don't. I'm not sure why you don't want ALL of us to work towards making Mayors Money more money in 2007, though? If our links aren't valuable to you, and I'm a "fucktard" for not sending your specific program more traffic, then please tell me here.

If you absolutely must take 5-10% of every cheque I get from your program, then I guess I'll just spend my time elsewhere. It's the principle of the thing. We all know it doesn't cost you $5 to send the cheque, you yourself admit that you're making an uhhh ethical stand against cheques I guess.

Why do I have to buy into this madness?

It's also a little disturbing to see the big giant ego's of those who have 'made it' in this industry making comments against the little guys, who have legitimate points. 5% of $1 is still 5%, and you'd be a more humble and probably wealthy individual if you watched your 5%'s.

I think it's a bit strange to see the same people who go to conferences to attract new affiliates, relationships, attend seminars, learn about different areas of the business, and generally come together as an industry balk at newbies. These are the next generation of individuals who will line your pockets.

I'd like to know how much money you folks have made in total from small affiliates who got one or two cheques and keep a balance for months and years on end that rarely if ever gets paid out.

You are shooting yourself in the feet, while at the same time laughing at the small people who may very well eclipse you dinosaurs. They see your foolishness. Don't get too comfortable! A little humility goes a long way.
