Incognito --
You can do your hypothetical math, call mine incorrect, all you like, it's not going to bother me. As I said, I am fortunate in the fact that I can see real numbers, both aggregate across the industry and for individual sites and programs.
I will bring up a very interesting point though, something I thought of a couple years ago when I was still building sites --
The sponsors do not need the resellers.
Well, that's heresy, let's burn her at the stake, she's all wrong, she's crazy, yeah I know what's going through your mind right about now.
But it's really simple.
If the sponsors stopped paying the resellers, surfers would still be looking for porn and they would still be buying it. Sponsors could hire people straight out to get and manage traffic, and the resellers would be left out in the cold. No one would build sites, gallery pages etc since there would be no one to buy their traffic. Either everyone started their own paysite or they got a job working for a sponsor. It's that simple.
Don't ever overestimate the worth of a. what you're selling, or b. your ability to sell it.
Just some food for thought...
