Most stay around for years, some never close.

Personallhy i dont see any reason to ever have to close an affiliate program, as Seth said, if a program has affiliates and is making sales, its pretty much just 'free' money after a while.

Most seem to think that running an affiliate program or bunch of paysites is hard work, it really isnt, just so long as you have the scripting in place to run it for you.
