And I've been doing this full time for 7 years now (anniversary was last month).. yah ok, your dick is bigger than mine.. big fucking deal... Do I go to shows? no.. Do I talk to a lot of people? no, only those that are important to what I do... Do I post on board a lot? these days a lot more but not back when I started and for several years afterwards as I was too busy working and didn't give a shit about boards... Do we know each other? No.. Although I "think" maybe years back we might have had a traffic trade that didn't work out..

You say that someone has got the #1 spot for the term claudia marie and is sending a lot of sales and you don't get it?? Seriously? A lot of SEO people on here that saw that would have been pulling up the SERPs and every other tool out there to see how the guy got it and to see how they could take it away from him.. It's not that he had the #1 spot, it's that he was making a lot of money from it and that your site was so weak that it was ripe for exploiting... But if you don't get it then you never will. Surprised though, I expect that sort of mental block from program operators that have never been affiliates. Or maybe it's that SEO people are a lot more sensitive about that sort of thing... However, if you've paid attention on the boards you will have seen affiliates getting pissed off about programs sharing their traffic sources with other affiliates...
