Seriously are you really asking that question? The answers are pretty obvious:

1. The sponsors advertising there offer a product that can not be given away for free and is basically an upsell to what the people are getting for free.

2. Obviously they make a profit on their adverising there so no matter how bad the traffic the revenue must exceed the costs.

3. They do it to help destroy their competition. They fund people to give away your products for free so you lose your affiliates. Your conversions go to shit your affiliate switch to them where they make more money. They hit you from 2 ways, make your product worthless as it is given away for free and kill your traffic by making your affiliates leave.


Let me know if this makes sense/
