The reality is, that many webmasters really do need help with a lot of things they do because there is just too much we have to keep an eye on nowadays.

At least this is from what I've been hearing.

Now, when it gets out of hand with some affiliates we won't do it. For instance, we will not open epass accounts for people. I was really surprised when I was asked this.

We try really hard to be affiliate-oriented and help our affiliates as much as we can. But there is a limit. The old adage about taking a mile is very applicable here. I personally believe that this is just the first stages in the industry slimming down on saturation and soon we may see some good conversions again. A good way to tell is the fact that there aren't as many designers around. Remember 2 years ago when all you had to do was ask a question and you'd get spammed by new designers? yeah, that was newbies trying to make it when they couldn't convert their traffic. At least that's what I thought....

I'm rambling here, but I truly believe webmasters will take this too far (as with everything else) and programs will stop accomodating it and we'll see a slimdown.

But this is all speculation.
