Of course

80 percent of the affiliates im sure are probably 1 man operations but 10 to 20 percent I would guess are much larger operations with multiple employees.

When you own 70 or 80 sites and your constantly developing new sites and ideas then it would be impossible to do it all yourself. Especially when you have many different types like TGP/MGP/Mobile/Blog/Tube/etc. I also have my own paysite aswell.

There are some of us still that dont fuck around and are growing even during these trying times. I do mostly all planning, research, seo, advertisement deals, and all other admin or "owner" type duties while I have other guys that handle say content only, or design/integration, traffic trading, etc.

I think were up around 800k/day of traffic now and its all of highest quality for each respective site type. Could have much more if we wanted to reduce user experience.

So anyway, yes of course we have employees. Just think of yourself expanding your operation to say several times your current size and then also bringing on an entire free site side to build traffic. As long as your making more $$$ at the end of the day then its all good. I dont do this shit for fun. This is business.
