Will the affiliate model die this year ?

JoesHO · 07-31-2006

do you think that it is now an outdated businessmodel for bot ha sponsor and for an affiliate in adult ?

( do not confucse this with me saying is ADULT dead , I know it will continue to grow)

The question is how and what will the affiliate do to adapt ?

what/how will someone become the NEW whales? what is the plan ?

I don't think the affiliate model will die, but I think the paysite model that's currently in use might be suffering a bit. I think surfers want more than pics and videos now....offering that, unless it's a very niche specific fetish, isn't going to cut it in a few years.

I predict that the muscle cops will toss Lawrence Conner for having a gay tattoo and being a nuisance.

I predict that if they don't toss him out on instinct that someone else will make sure he goes anyway. Just remember - you promised video for those of us who are sitting this one out. Should be funny. I'll get the popcorn ready cuz I know it will happen. lol

Well, a site that worked in 1998 probably wouldn't work now...I think you're already seeing a shift to cam sites, more interaction between the model and surfers...etc, I think it'll continue on that path.

I highly doubt that it will die, especially for those affiliates with lots of productive traffic ...however I can see a huge scaling back of the affiliate model and more programs picking and choosing who sends them traffic, while in the meantime building up their own internal traffic sources more.

It has been for a long time with a lot of companies, and considering the current changes in laws etc, it's a good idea.

People have been saying this for a very long time. I was thinking back in 2000 that the affiliate model wasn't overly sustainable, but people are still making it work. A little tweaking here or there and it will live on, imo, barring dramatic legal changes.
