This year with the down turn they averaged 6.4% conversion ratio according to Google Analytics. Gross Sales up 18% and not a one of them had a coupon -point -reward or cash back incentive attached to any order. Their eBay, Yahoo, and Amazon shops did very well too without a single incentive with those super affiliates footing 100% of the PPC traffic to those storefronts.. At some point soon the real merchnat management will demand and receive higher commission going to new customer affiliate generators, product shgowcase creators with great SEO SERP pages, and lower commission percentages to those poaching sales at the last minute.

I personally have had my finger on the "value Add pulse" contribution of legit domain bound affiliates battling the incentive cookie cannons and point of sale poachers. There is no work vs reward incentive offered to any affiliate showcasing customer facing creatives and pushing new customers to merchant sites. That traffic as well as direct type-in traffic to a merchant's domain operated by a AM friendly to loyalite BHO's or couponers leaves that affiliate starving on commission paydays.

As anything else, the market will adjust itself. As long there is demand for anything, then there is someone coming up to produce it in order to fill the need. And this someone will also need other people to promote it and spread the words about it - that is what is affiliate marketing all about.

And that is the primary mode today for the vast majority of thinkers and nonthinkers about this issue... it's can't be optimized, so leave it as it is. Intellectually, that's lazy. From a business perspective, it's inefficient. Either of those conditions leads to things... and Scott, I think you know where that is. I'll see you there. :-) When the ability to discern is assumed to be false or inaccurate, no reasonable decisions regarding differentiation or optimization can be made.
