Online tracking is not going anywhere, because EVERYONE needs it.. in one form or the other. Cookies might be blocked, but there is and always will be other ways.
it's more an more up to the actual programs to make ends meet so they can pay the affiliates. What is alarming is the level of stupidity among actual affiliates whom require massive payments and good conversions. $50+ for a signup?
There's not many mainstream affiliate programs (retail) paying more than 5% of the order value (usually before taxes + shipping). So you'd be lucky to get $5 for $100 order. NOT $100 for $5 order which seems to be the norm what affiliates expect.
So I'd say, the way to survive in affiliate business is to optimize the traffic and be prepared to when (not if) programs lower their rates to more sensible levels.
Imho.
