Good Post Roger... I think alot of people aren't thinking with a clear head... just like vegas, the money you see here, ISNT your $$$ until the check is cashed.
So people keep thinking, I'll keep sending them traffic... maybe it'll get better or... I'd rather not have to switch my links or... they check will be there soon...
Meanwhile, they're spending their own $$$ out of pocket on content and hosting, in the hopes that the sponsor will shape up.
People need to learn how to 1) use SSI to change all their links if they need to, and 2) Put just enough faith into a company that it will neither break your bank or make your bank.
Using 1 sponsor solely is grounds for alot of heartache... Use 2-3 main ones, and don't be afraid to play around with other sponsors... to test the water. Use what works for ya, if it makes you $$$ then use it... if it doesn't then you don't owe them anything, move on, and come back later if you feel like it.
That being said, try out Roger's new proggies. Good stuff.
