Affiliates are the problem in todays climate. Most of you don't get it but that is just fact.

With tightening regulations from Visa, MC etc now. An affiliate is an extra risk because as a program you are processing their sales.

this is not about sales anymore this is about PROCESSING. Would you rather process 20k and get paid? or process 100k and get shut down?

program owners understand this now.

affiliates are 100% of the problem. Affiliates have no tie to the "brand" of a site and in reality do not care how they push that brand just as long as they make a sale.

The credit card companies do not care anymore. After shit hit the fan last year with negative billing they are closing up shop on everyone who may even as so smell of anything shady.

If you're an affiliate in general start to look into your own solutions. Few will take the advice. But if you cant see the shit storm ahead you arent a real webmaster anyway.

There is a real credit crunch happening in the world. Tie that in with the general view of pornography. There lies your answer.
