So what I'm hearing is that new sites with good content that convert and retain, honest payouts, and fair treatment of the webmasters is the way to earn webmaster loyalty?

When you guys are all at the next convention, wondering why there's no open bar and no tits in your face, you can reread this thread.

Yeah, this is pretty much a no-brainer. Or so you'd think.

What you see at the parties is a bunch of people who have never or don't have any intention of promoting these sponsors, leeching off of them.

The catch22 though is you probably don't want to make conventions an old boys club. You're always looking for new affiliates, and showing that you're a reliable company that has money, is gonna make alot of people secure in sending you traffic.

Silvercash's Happy Hour is a perfect example. Noone is gonna worry that they're gonna go under anytime soon.

When people STOP running parties or even GOING to show's, it's assumed that they're in financial peril and affiliates get nervous and look at other sponsors. That's something the big guys put on themselves from past blowouts.

P.S. Those of us with a clue, know the industry is changing and this Lightspeed isn't going under because they're not gonna be in Miami. But there's alot of people on here without a clue.
