    How many Affiliate programs are gonna close up shop by the end of the year?

    DVD Companies are folding like flies, the internet is saturated beyond belief. How many programs are about to go under?

    probably just a few more than 2006

    it will be pretty unnoticeable though, same as usual....the solid ones will stay and adapt and the smaller ones will quietly fade away

          So far we already closed more than 100 adult affiliate programs in StatsRemote this year and more and more programs close shop every month.

              Well, there are still more opening than closing.

              Stats for StatsRemote this year so far:
              220 New Programs
              499 Fixed Programs
              165 Closed Programs
              (mainstream and gambling programs included)

              And we don't count CCBill, Epoch or Vertotel affiliate programs. If we did the numbers would be much much higher.

                  I would venture to guess you all are the end source for this type of info

                  do you have 2006 stats handy?

                    Yeah, unfortunately more than half of the new companies opening this year will be closed by next year.

                    I don't think people realize how much money, time and work goes into opening a new program.

                      In 2006 we closed 63 adult affiliate programs in StatsRemote. Again: CCBill, Epoch and Verotel programs are not included, otherwise we would talk about many hundreds.

                      The following happened several times already: Somebody asks us to add a program and by the time we want to release a StatsRemote update one or two weeks later, the program is already gone. Seems like they had a solid business plan

                            Well, from my experience our members' main interest is that the programs they use work and most of them don't really care about such stats

                            But you seem to like them a lot. I already saw them in at least two threads on different boards

                                I didn't attend, but I read from the xbiz site what xxxjay said about programs opening that have ZERO traffic of their own. A lot of these program are people that should have learned the game from the ground up before jumping into owning a program. Should have their own traffic and not just NEEDING the traffic of others to survive.

                                          I would put Azure Cash on your short list as they are in collections for $4500.00 dollars.

                                                probably one of the few true gauges.

                                                there are others, but yours is a pretty good assessment.

A lot of these program are people that should have learned the game from the ground up before jumping into owning a program. Should have their own traffic and not just NEEDING the traffic of others to survive.
                                                  That's what I don't get these days. It used to be that you'd open a program because you were tired of giving up all your traffic to someone else. Now it's the "cool" thing to do and everyone is putting one together. I'm also amazed at how many of these programs don't actively try and add traffic of their own and spend their time spamming boards.

                                                      People used to start a paysite with affiliate program if they could send at least 10-15 sales a day to it with their own traffic.

                                                      Lately people think running a paysite is an easy way to make money ... they figure if they can't make sales, they'll just depend on other people to send traffic and make money from that.
                                                      Just to find out nobody really likes their paysite(s) enough to promote them, then they figure what's needed for webmasters to give them a try is to give high payouts just like the big programs.
                                                      A few months later they finally figure out that their paysite doesn't have what it takes to convert traffic, or to maintain a healthy recurring rate to justify the high payouts.
                                                      There's no money for updates, plugins and other monthly expenses, so they have to quit.
                                                      Spank me
                                                      Dude, where's my traffic?
