It's part of a mix - you can have the best sites in the world but if you don't attract the traffic - through increased payouts, special give aways, thread competitions, publicity stunts, parties, dinners, etc - you're doing your company a disservice. I wasn't trying to suggest they should neglect their core business or that the affiliate shouldn't be focused on the bottom line - I was merely saying that the person that goes the extra mile does garner attention and attracts business.
A great example of a company (and somebody correct me if I'm mistaken) that doesn't spend money on affiliate adversting / promotion / parties is BangBros and yet they are an obvious success story - when they started doing well for affiliates - the word of mouth spread like wild fire - and they didn't need to spend the money on marketing - they had the best marketing money could buy - testimonial of friends/peers.
