Tomorrows affiliate.
There has been so much moaning and griping going on from affiliates recently I think most are finding it tougher and tougher. I get the impression some will not survive for much longer. Just the impression I get.
And it occurred to me as a sponsor, affiliate and content provider why some are doing so badly.
They have relied on the sponsor to such a degree they are little more than low paid submitters of content. Think about it, free hosting, content, galleries, blog text, banners, and everything else. All with one aim. To drive traffic to the sponsors site first, last and only.
I know that the guys sending me good traffic are the ones who have their own traffic coming from their own sites. I know the guys still buying content are still buying content, to drive to them self first and me second.
The affiliate was weaned, we then made them rely on the teat again and now he can't afford to get off it.
Traffic is KING if you totally own it, if you're only submitting and sending it to a paysite you don't own.
