2257 issues are an entire different debate all together.
Bottomline is its hard to compete as a true affiliate based webmaster.
Early wisdom used to say why build something of my own when I acn make more money selling others with a fraction of the effort?
Its hell of a lot more effort now and people got greedy with all the stealing tricks and of course this shit with Zango and AFF.
This shit has been going on a long time before with sextracker ... Newton did and excellent interview a while back on it.
Ill do some digging for it but I think you can still see some of this from this quiery. As I recall sextracker was loading a trojan that replaced affilaite codes and cookies with their own. As you can see this ended bad..

Ill see if I can find the interview. |
Sextracker was a sore issue for awhile but as you can see "the keep me happy" money flowed into the right place.
ZANGO money is keeping a lot of high-end webmasters happy too.
An adult webmaster today has to own a TGP, LinkList, Blogs, Thousand of AVS satelites, thousands of galleries and very good relationships with the owners of the affiliate programs.
The good relationships with affiliate owners get you in on first new products. Basically, you beta test their product and cash in fast.
Also, adult webmaster have to know CSS like their top of their dicks.
Evolve or die.
