It's impossible to turn a profit buying TGP spots nowadays with 2003 prices and 2006 traffic quality, (both as a sponsor or as an affiliate)
This is just my guess, but i believe TGPs should be getting less and less webmasters buying spots each month, and soon they'll have to adjust their pricing to a more realistic number or lose their clients completely.
So maybe TGPs selling spots sooner or later will have to do something like this,if you sell spots at $1000/month and get 10 clients, why not sell at $500 and get 30 sold spots of recurring clients instead? you make more money, the client makes at least some roi, everyone is happy
thoughts? am i completely wrong here?
