It pisses me off that these affiliate programs make so much money trading exit traffic when they don't even pay for most of it... When I think of all the unpaid exit traffic I must have generated over the years, it brings a tear to my eye...

Some have said -- well show the $ amount on the banner -- that way you send less clicks to the banner but you'll make more money / click... Maybe this is true -- but some have also said that doing this detracts from impulse buying... and so it's better to not tell the surfer about $ until he hits the join page... Do you agree?

So there are other options... Build your own exit chain using full page ads (pre-qualify the traffic) and don't let the surfer ever get to the exit consoles that your sponsor uses... It's a lot of work, but I think this system works...

Also, a gallery has almost the same effect... the ratios from a gallery to a sponsor should be better than direct off a banner... so you aren't doing as much charity work for the exit farmers...

Thoughts on this?
