I would disagree with that. Affiliates are payed to market. Hence the phrase affiliate marketing. In the adult business, companies cannot go the route CircuitCity.com or Target.com does to market its products. Adult companies cannot purchase ads on television, buy ads in newspapers, sell through an ebay store or in many cases advertise via google adwords. Therefore, the value of affiliate marketers to sell adult products is higher.

Consider it is a marketing expense.
