That's the problem with these kind of posts...they draw surfers like mattsbeachhouse and further expose how our business works.
You know, I have no idea how the banking industry REALLY works, or the auto industry, or ANY industry. We all have generalizations. And most of them are public companies so there are stock meetings.
But NONE of them reveal the true inner workings of their business...as in what goes on in the office of the top people. It would make them weak and open to failure once competitors or (in our case) people who want them eliminated...want to go after them.
If there's one thing I think that is a big mistake it's people coming on this message board talking about HOW things work.
10 years ago a surfer didn't even know there was such a thing as an affiliate program. They visited a website and it was presented to them as a person shooting porn and sharing it with them for a price.
But now thanks to GFY and others...they know every goddamn thing about affiliate programs, how they work, business tricks, etc. ,etc.
As I said earlier...car salesmen sure don't go out of their way to tell you how you are going to end up spending $100,000 on a $30,000 vehicle before they get done with you.
But for some reason...some people in adult just can't wait to reveal everything to our customers. I'm sorry, but that is just not good business.
