Name names ;))))
I had a convo about this yesterday with Kenny (kennies pennies), that sponsors ask me why our numbers dropped with them over the years. In 9 out of 10 cases it turns out they stopped getting us content and stopped using the tools we offer. So whose there to blame really? Sure tubes and the economy don't help but god dammit stop being lazy and start working. This is not 2008 anymore, the ratios will never get back to the glory day numbers. Accept it and start working or stfu and go flip burgers.
Ps I'm not saying the above programs are lazy, just wanted to point out something we notice a lot.
Fuck I love this industry

Completely respect what you are saying here. I have no doubt that many programs were successful in spite of themselves. At least for those who met, these are companies whose sites and or models are in fact active. they are updating, in some cases daily. They have tried redesigns, upgraded software, faster servers etc. These people care & are trying everything.
In the past this group of people might have considered the others "competitors". Here they were literally logging each other into their accounting / stats software
the one item that has been cut for all of those that met was their marketing budgets. They ( and I ) really don't know where to market any longer. These companies used to buy spots on numerous TGP's, banner ads etc. None of that works any longer and they don't have the capital to advertise on the sites with the most traffic.. tubes.
Not to blow smoke but Freeones was in the top 5 affiliates of every company present
