I will look into my magic looking glass and predict the future.

Tomorrow you will be lucky to get $5 PPS and rev share will go. The micro fetish and micro niche sites will still do well if they hit the niche right. A lot of sites will find it tougher to make surfers spend.

We were converting at 1-100, we are now converting 1-1,000 and it's getting worse. Traffic numbers are not increasing to take up the loss like they did. There are too many options for the surfer to pay less. The sites that pay you $40 and spend another $10 to support you for the sign up will simply price themselves out of the market.

If I had made that post yesterday everyone would of jumped in and told me they would not send the traffic and without it I'm dead. Now they are losing members, not traffic, to people who don't have affiliate programs.

The affiliate program is good, affiliates are great (the ones who send sign ups LOL) but if I have to sell a product or resell it again and again at 10 times more than other sell it for I'm on a slippery slope.
