A payment processing/affiliate management system (
PPAM) that could take profit from both the back end
and every sale at the front end is like a license to print money.
In return for a small service of course.
PPAM systems that protect the interests of the affiliate will become the way we do business in the future.
It may take awhile for this idea to sink in but it's the next step in the evolution of adult "business" and it will then flow out to mainstream
affiliate programs.
Why you might ask?
Simply because there is money to be made doing it.
The revenue stream available from taking a couple of points off the top of every front-end transaction is enormous.
At some point someone, somewhere will notice this and act to implement such a system, because as we all know, nothing motivates better then a huge pile of money.
Chances are it will be an outgrowth or division of, one of the already existing large companies. The system will be proprietary and stand-alone.
No one has to port their data out to a stranger. The "clever programmer" is a euphemism. One has to look at the situation from the top down not the bottom up.
