I'm curious how the big paysites are doing in terms of conversion ratios since there aren't thousands of affiliates bringing in different numbers..

Ask the people who shoot for them. This is what I see. Most of the big ones are still doing very well, it's the layer under them that are not doing so well. They are cutting back. The small are suffering the worse. And this is absolutely normal in times like this, the big can trim a few people or not, get more aggressive or not. All we know for sure was a company thought of as big, when they went public the truth was out.
This is something I posted on another board. In a famine the weak suffer first, if the famine continues, then the stronger suffer, if the famine isn't stopped even the biggest die. Think in terms of a river drying up. A river of people willing to pay at the door.
Please don't debate this with PJ. This debate is so over his head it's amazing. He missed the obvious when using Coke ads as a comparison.
