I'm not referring to affiliate programs or advertisers, I'm specifically referring to AD NETWORKS. It seems everyone and his mother these days is making a network, and from all of our tracking of the industry, it's pretty apparent that the only reason most of these networks exist, is to use DT to get "direct offers" in their marketplace, so that they don't have to go through the hassle of signing up here and there, talking to some AM who doesn't know shit, and begging for payout hikes. Instead they are just starting their own networks, getting the same damn offers, for probably a bit more than usual, but not all that much, and if they can, getting a friend or two to promote through their new little spam sweatshop network, or whatever they are using it as a cover for.

I can assure you... Anyone who says "affiliate marketing is dying" doesn't know what they are talking about and deserves a smack in the face for it. The girly Engaged style smack, open palm bitches!
