You can't look at it as bringing in 1000 members but only making half the money. That is money that the paysite owners otherwise wouldn't have, and that's why it is worth it. Trying to explain that to someone who just doesn't understand or doesn't want to understand is futile though, some people just will not get it no matter how it's explained.

oh, i agree...affiliates are a GREAT thing to have...but if you seriously think that adding on affiliates will double the member base of any paysite, i personally think you are wrong...affiliates don't bring in as many members to a paysite as you would like think they do

If the affiliate program business model was the big bad utterly retarded thing that some of you seem to want to make it out to be, then why are ALL of the largest progams in adult running them?

i agree, extra money is good, and the larger sponsors agree also

And as to the point about affiliates being lazy... give me a fucking break people. An affiliate still has to build sites, still has to do design work, hundreds of hours of promotion and arranging link trades and networking in order to build up traffic, has to invest money for promo, must spend money on all the things he/she isn't able to provide themselves such as programing work, graphic design, ongoing grunt work, not to mention hundreds of hours a month in maintaining things...... anyone who thinks they can start from scratch and become the uber-affiliate overnight is completely out to lunch.

look at my above post about what one of the larger programs offered me.....I said "I have actually had one program offer me: hosting, an on hand designer that they pay for at anytime I need him, free copy of chameleon and some clothing...all in one swoop"....that is them paying for everything I need to do anything, including design and promo...
WTF?????
