I don't think adult affiliates should be scolded or put down for wanting a fair shake for the money, time and effort they expend when they partner with a sponsor program they have little choice but to trust blindly.

I'm always taken back when I view stats that show I've sent a sponsor 500 or 1,000 uniques and have nothing to show for it. Can you imagine owning a "brick and mortar" business where 500 to 1,000 people visit your "store" and not one of them drops even a penny into your cash register. Yet, this is what adult affiliates have learned to tolerate and accept. It really kind of defies common sense and logic.

Consider the adult affiliate who SEOs a website to perscribe to exactly what a surfer who uses a search engine is looking for... in other words, what the affiliate is delivering is just what the surfer says he wants. Can traffic be any better targeted than this? Yet, there's no sale made. And, this happens with unique after unique after unique. It's no wonder the concept of shaving enters into the scenario.
