Especially funny to know how much it would cost for some particular affiliate program to have its own hosted blog with quality morphing feeds. Let's do some calculation:
1) Blog and RSS morphing software installation:
$100-$120 one time fee.
2) Monthly payments to blog poster who will update their blog/feeds daily:
$90-$150 (only $3..$5 a day, 30 days a month)!
Is that too much in exchange on high quality SE traffic? I don't think so. I believe some companies are too lazy to do such an easy step toward their affiliates, or they are too poor and/or greedy
P.S. Many programs are thinking it's toooooo much to pay $100 for a professional 3rd-party RSS software, and they deciding to code their own custom RSS scripts. In result of that, their affiliates are getting some raw and incomplete "feeds" with lack of essential features (no morphing, bad ref. code handling => traffic leaks, incompatibility with popular feed-pulling software, even wrong XML implementation etc...)
