There are just so many people/sites out there selling their traffic.

Think about that.
I have thought about it, long and hard.
First you do not have to buy all your traffic, and if you do it should always be watched to make sure it generates a profit.
Same variety? Any program can submit to the same places. They can get partner accounts at the same places and so on. Only variety difference is with the very large affiliates who have a clenched fist over a given traffic source. Then odds are most 50/50 programs will not be pushed by them anyways.
