This worked fine when sales where easy and everyone was making money hand over fist, but times have changed. Everyone is scraping buy and soon your only going to be left with the multi corps of porn, when that happens... what do you think the payouts going to be?

Tell me, how many single sites do you see left right now? How many new ones do you see starting up? Well, I've been here for over 10 years now, and will go down fighting, but as it is, it's a battle I'm not going to win. Seeing the skinning of GFY by
the tubes has shown me that.

As I stated in the email, I will work will current affiliates and even new ones on a case by case bases but I'm only going to be taking new affiliate signups personally from now on. (Actually the change is happening now with the anotherprogram.com domain going off and no new affiliate will be allowed to join until WMS is running over at Ccbill. Even then the actual signup forum will be mailed by me directly and not accessible via the web)

Sure, other programs are going to offer higher % payouts for a time and they are going to get every tom dick and harry pushing them, but when the stats are 1:8000 or higher are you really making more?

By doing what I'm doing I'm actually helping the people actively pushing me. There is FAR less competition between affiliates and everyones ratios can stay low. Will I make less? Most likely. But the sites at a point where things have got to change or there will not be a site to promote period. I'm sorry if you can't see my point of view on this and I hope we can work it out but you have to do what you have to do also.
