well, I have resisted having an affiliate programme for years. I now have one throug CC Bill. I have no idea how long the cookies last, but the rebillings that get paid out are quite substantial. So I assume it is working. As for shaving, I personally have no idea how to do it nor do I care. I think if someone sells me traffic, then I gotta pay. That is the deal. Some folks are doing pretty damn well out of my rebillings and I am actually surprised. But that is the caveat and it is still money in the bank. I originally resisted affiliate programmes because I thought they would just be buying me traffic I already got for free. But most of the traffic I am finding is from other sources. And some of the best people are bringing in a shitpot of business. I guess I am a semi convert.
