I suspect that the current belt tightening will only have a large impact on those selling high end or discretionary products.

Good points Allan.

Some affiliates could even see sales grow if they are in certain niches or have coupon sites for instance.

One thing I was thinking about the other day too is that the affiliate marketing and Make Money Online markets could actually grow quite a bit as more people look for ways to supplement their income or get laid off and decide they want to try to start an online biz.

TRUE STORY (part is off topic) I was sitting trying out chairs at Office Depot last night and started talking to this guy who asked what I did for a living. I simply said Internet Marketing. He told me he was disabled and needed to work from home and was looking at Internet businesses he could start with low cash.

So I told him a little about AM. When I mentioned the work affiliate he got this SOUR MILK look on his face. Turns out his experience of AM is some jackass that's that's high pressuring him into this $499 package that automatically sets him up with at least 6 affiliate programs.

I said RUN! That's not affiliate marketing that's a biz opp. Affiliate marketing done right is very high integrity and there is never a fee to get started.

At any rate, there will be more and more like him turning to the Internet to make money and more and more scammers trying to take advantage of all the newbies.

That's why I wish there was a way to get 5 Star out in front of and above all the noise, so people could get solid honest info before they go out in the wild and run into all the scams.
