Seems now days that affiliates are being attacked from every angle by the very people they spent countless hours to promote and work with.

From member sites that can not be bothered with any new webmasters or people that do not make them 1000’s of dollars a week. In fact this one bothers me the least if they are that shortsighted, and have fallen for their own ego trips about how the world can not live with out their content then I say FUCK THEM!!!!!!

To the AVS network that does little but, blame affiliates for their troubles, over charge their views with these “premium membership’s” redirect/suppress your traffic in their directories, and come up with a endless assault of new affiliate rules that’s real intent is too improve their upsales sales, at your expense. With out giving us anything new to work with/market in what 10 years, and the affiliates wanting traffic for providing content, and creating sites for them is the big problem?

Now the one that bothers me the most now is some of these link list, that say how after all these years that they do not really need us at all. Hell they say all their traffic comes from search engines, but who’s traffic, content, sites, and refereed linking got them this search ranking and viewers to start with? These guys now do nothing, but minimize the exposure they provide your links by in most cases not really listing your sites for more than 1 week, hiding your links the best they can, placing your links under 100’s of upsales links/company sites they created, coming up will all kind of rules again to flat out make it almost impossible with the combination of rules against the number of sites they will list a week for most affiliates to do much more than just survive.

It really seems to me that their is a real conscious effort to consolidate some/most of these link lists with a few members sites affiliate programs and cut webmaster/us out of all but about 1% of the pie. Its really horrible to me to see a job I did for so long to be eradicated like this especially like I said from the same people we worked with for so long. Do we really think its best of the industry to make affiliates nothing more than hobbits for the most part only looking to maybe make up for the cost of the membership to said site they pay for? And let a small number of people that could probably sit around my kitchen table, control everything. This is a disaster of upsales, boring sites, bland content, generic themes, safe porn, interchangeable sites, and does make the few that remain a BIG and much easier target for the Right Wingers for even more lawyerfication on this industry. That in the end will lead to nothing but a hollow shell of a industry that I truly loved.
