To me affiliates pushing the majority of the sales is lost money, and with labor as cheap as it is now, you can hire 2-5 people for way less in the long run to do the same as the top 2-5 affiliates for your program

one thing I have always done with my 2 paysites is watch the top affiliate and always make sure I am pushing more sales personally than he is promoting me...

just my thing though, and I know of a few other single girl sites that do the same, hell, i know one single girls site that doesn't even have an affiliate program and makes almost $10k a month

i am rambling, must be the vicodin kicking in
