If you have been paying attention you'll know that it is very common for a sponsor to claim their non-affiliate ratios are 1:500 while their ratios for the affiliate program as a whole are 1:1,500. Gee, I wonder what could be happening there?
The truth is that it only gets worse each year. To be paid the same amount of money affiliates on revshare with programs who mainly rely on cookies should be given a 5% raise each year otherwise the effects of this is essentially a paycut.
But let's be honest. In 2011 most adult affiliate programs would be best classified as scams. This is true whether it's intentional or not. Affiliate programs started off as a good deal for the affiliate but over time they didn't keep up. Most changes served to benefit the program owner. Affiliates didn't band together and demand things be kept reasonable. Most affiliates don't even know what's going on. You're better off in most cases not being an affiliate. And it's probably only going to get worse because even today most affiliates are too stupid to realize what's happening and lack the balls to demand any changes.
