Someone may have a blockbuster idea that's been proven effective in a mainstream setting, however when translating that idea to someone in Adult, one tends to see this industrys character - very linear and immature. It's like trying to provision a new opportunity through a snobbish 14 year old trust fund heir. Their ignorance of the proposed "technology" just makes conversation difficult, their reluctance to pursue it further with no counteroffer for additional consulting, and a lucrative opportunity unneedingly lost.

What I also wonder about is why is there so much fierce competion between spnsors and no cross-sell collaborations instead between them? How about adding a few more steps to that two-step sponsor-affiliate ladder? Or am I wrong? AOL trades links with Google, Amazon retails with Target, why is this industry so damn narrow and immature?
