Granted I'm in pain and totally out of it and should probably not even be trying to post but I dont get this.

Quote:

"Let's say there is a product made by company "A". Company "A" has an affiliate program to join to sell their product.

There are also 10 websites that help sell the product for company "A". These 10 websites also have affiliate programs to join to help sell the product for company "A".

When I set up my website to become an affiliate, I want to become an affiliate for these 10 websites plus company "A".
Why would you want to be a sub-affiliate for 10 affiliates when you could work with the merchant and get full commish?

Plus it does not make sense to attract traffic to your site, have them click on a product, go to another affiliate site, then have to click again to get to the merchant. It's extra clicks and totally redundant. Plus why join all 10 anyway??? This makes no sense.

Plus the price issue is super easy. Even if you are pulling a datafeed you can always just show the product and description and then have a link to "click for more info" or "check for best price" or "buy now" that goes to the merchant site with the correct pricing. Note I said the link goes to the merchant NOT to another affiliate's site.
