The deal is supposed to be that the affiliate puts up the content and gets their commission for any sales they send. From the affiliate perspective anything less is not ideal. Assuming the affiliate gets a crappy 1% CTR from a text link or banner under the content and the sponsor watermark gets 1% then this means the affiliate is losing out on at least half of the sales they are technically responsible for.
I guess this is just another reason why a lot of affiliates have left adult? Increasingly the standard affiliate model is antiquated not only for the sponsor who now gets much of their traffic from tubes but also for the affiliate themselves who is increasingly cheated out of the commissions they deserve one way or another.
