What's the strategy? Simple squeeze page to a CPA network?
Na they just make money telling others how much they make a month. Personally I never liked any of the mainstream affiliate programs and I was never a fan of CPA stuff. I think if you look around there are 2 decent ways to make money.

Sell advertising or sell your own products, this way you have full control and not at the mercy of some affiliate program. Personally, I will never again push another affiliate program after seeing how it turned out when things started going down hill in adult. It's far too easy for companies to close or simply not pay you causing your income to disappear.

The only reason IMO that affiliate model worked so well in adult is because the profit margin was so high they could afford to pay out decent payments. In mainstream those are few and far between and the ones that might be good are pushed everywhere.

My suggestion is find a small niche and develop a product to sell with-in that target market.
