Easy as that. That's why cam sponsors give you 0:15,000 ratio.

Yeah, someone now who uses blackhat shit software of e-whoring will say that they have 1:200.

Also if you are the owner or manager of one of the biggest 10 adult free sites, your answer is not valid at all. I'm talking about average affiliates, not giant massive sites.
So what would you do if the alternative was not to feed your family?

Add the true costs of affiliates. Then add the fixed costs, then you can see why so many sites are finding these times tough. You were a luxury that cannot be afforded today. Best way might be to tie in with the big Tubes and do your own submitting. Instead of giving all the tools to others, have in-house staff doing it.

The one thing you have no control over is traffic. It does what it wants to and today not enough buys enough to pay for luxuries.

*******************

What's clearly obvious hare is that many affiliates live in a cocoon made in the early 2000s. They can't force people to join, there's only so much "selling" that can be done with a mediocre product. Customers are no longer stupid and swallowing the "marketing" put out. They have smaller budgets, a lot more experience and knowledge and options today the never had prior to 2007. What ever world affiliates who think they are worth their high payouts think. The economics decide their future. Like everyone else.
