Where did you pull that statistic from?

Affiliates do not create traffic, other than people logging onto the the Internet to get free porn. They direct existing traffic of people interested in viewing porn. They create traffic to individual sites. (If you don't agree with that come up with an explanation.)

so if it was made harder for people to be affiliates, like buying content, what would be the affect?

Less affiliates or less surfers?

OK I was guessing at 75% shoot me for guessing, what would be you guess? Those dropping out it would be tough, sorry but this is business not a fraternity. The effect on the industry would be minimal, except for those affiliates who survived.

The effect of delivering more money, resources and skills towards the product would IMO be very good. The biggest problem with the industry is converting the surfer. Give him more reasons and confidence to buy and we all reap a reward.

I'm already there, by opening up the site to the surfer I benefit by showing them what they are getting for $30. Instilling more confidence and reasons to sign up works, the good traffic people are in this to make money, they send traffic to the places it returns the best investment.

Even if the owner is a fool, idiot and a TWIT.
