Affiliates are for the most part useless.
The best bang for buck on the effort for a site is through internal sales.
Paying people 50-60% of each sale or pay out $35-$70 per member is plane stupid.
We know that a target member tends to last 3 months at best and in vry few cases some for years where a subscriber "Forgets". But Majority of subscribers hang for 2-3 months if that.
Lossing 50%-60% of that is huge coupled with FHG's, and constant demand for content, bandwidth, pluggins, processing, employee's, company insurance and administration. Affiliates are a casualty to profitability in the big picture and the largest companies drive internal sales themselves only a fraction of income is generated by affiliates.
