Bad reflection on affiliates then. Either all fish wives moaning or a herd of cats who can't act as one. Maybe after 10 years I expect too much of them. Still making a few test joins will soon show if you're being shaved or this is the state of online porn.

It could be both.

The only reason to shave, because it self defeating, is a program can't afford the high payouts of 2000-2007 in 2011. Why is obvious, less joining and all the savings that could of been made have been, leaving the high cost of traffic as the only place left to save money. Can't cut payouts on the sites, as affiliates wouldn't join. But shaving is an option to save money, while making it look like you're paying out big.

Or so much has been given away free for so long, the culture of paying for porn is dwindling.

Still 2,000 hits on a join page and no conversions?

My crappiest sites of all crappy sites return a pretty good ration off join page hits. They don't bother going their, they know what a join page is.
