Some of the best paysites I have seen, with concepts that I know make them amazing sales either point blank refuse to take on affiliates, or only take them on after they have enjoyed a long period of exclusive promotion.
I didn't put my point very well before and it came off a little wrong. What I am suggesting is that the middle man is being cut out. Its the site owners with their traffic who are increasingly going straight to the sponsor, giving less traffic out to others for free, or asking submitters to start paying for a piece of the pie.
Anyhow I am straying off topic ... sorry
