I used to LOVE PPC programs, there used to be one called FatPockets (now i beleive they are just pps/revshare) that i used to make a minimum of $500 a month with when i first started out, i literally joined the program a week after starting in the business... They were the good days.

Remember when a domain used to cost $90+ too? LOL

Sponsor theft back then was definitely more blatent and to some extent, more accepted than it is today, one program owner used to actually post publicly on the boards he was going to 'shave' 75% of his affiliates traffic during a weekend because he wanted to go on vacation and guess what.. He did, and people STILL sent their traffic to him LOL

There are definitely some things i miss about the industry 10+ years ago and in fact, there is more i miss about how things used to be than what i like about the state of the industry today, everything today is much more 'secret' than it used to be, sponsors try to outsmart affiliates as much as possible instead of being open about what they are doing, webmasters are always trying to fuck other webmasters over and not having to worry about retribution.

I remember one time this guy basically copied a site of another webmasters, a bunch of people got together and image sourced a couple of the guys pics, he made about $2500 from the site he copied, but his bandwidth bill for that week ended up being almost $8000 LOL
