I understand that many sponsors are doing more to generate the own traffic/sales, and can see the reasons why. However it would appear that all this is doing is robbing Peter to pay Paul. It's a vicious circle. We are doing ok, despite sales via affiliates falling, but we would be doing even better if we had both sales streams.

I agree... we just have to work harder nowadays. We have to produce more "interesting" content. Have more revenue streams. And, to be honest, make real world investments with the profit. I buy houses. Bricks and mortar have always done well for me, but porn drives the engine.
