The amount of new people coming in is increasing constantly, but percentagewise the surfers/affiliateprogram-ratio has gone worse.

Really?
Five years ago very few of my family and friends outside of the industry had an email account or where online. Now, I don't know a single person who isn't on line. This includes my 89 year old grandmother who recently passed away.
When an ISP says "we opened up ten thousand new accounts last month" that's not a reflection of how many "new" people finally got onto the Internet. These are people who had accounts with other companies, moved, or what not.
Granted there are other countries where home computers and internet connections aren't common, but that traffic isn't worth nearly as much as the guy sitting at his computer in NYC wanting to jack off online.
