Dr. Guile - I disagree that you can't find people who will help grow ideas and traffic generation techniques if they are on payroll. Proper incentives and continued ability to grow can help get the best out of employees.
CJ - I'm still a firm believer that this industry is going to have a crash. I think that the price of traffic is way too high for what it's really worth. Yes payouts remain high, but in order to continue to pay those high payouts, you need to beat the surfer up with consoles, x sells, high recurring memberships, member upsells, emailing, some even resort to deceptive billing practices, etc. All of this gives our industry a bad name and eventually something is going to give. And none of the sponsors out there are going to cut their payouts.
My best guess at this point is the death of 3rd party processors will bring it about. Once it requires merchant accounts to be able to process for paysites, things will correct themselves, I'm sure of it.
