Whatever Happened To New Affiliates?

[cots]

Have any paysite owners noticed a real decline in new affiliates signing up for their webmaster programmes? We haven't had a one since October, and we used to get 5-6 a week. I tested the sign up process and everything is working fine, so it just looks like there are no new affiliates around.

We all chat here about the decline in business, and the number of good sites to promote, but certainly for us, it looks like our life blood of the affiliate network is in serious decline.

Every week(ish), when I send out our affiliate newsletter, I find another couple of sites/blogs have closed so our active affiliate numbers are reducing every week.

WTF?
