Yes, I have seen this and expect many that are not making much money or very little to shut their sites down soon. The newbies might as well shut down for they have not a prayer making it in this business. For the rest of us only time will tell.
Unfortunately I think I agree with this. It is getting to be a difficult market to break into – although I think with SEO, time and patience it can still be done.
Regulation in the US would put us all out of business. Las Vegas casinos would take over and they would not need affiliates.
This I disagree with. I do think regulation would mean that Vegas etc. will enter the online market – as a matter of fact I think miraculously regulation will happen when they are poised and ready to do so.
But I highly doubt that the offshore casinos will roll over and die – I think there will be a lot of fierce competition and a shake out.
Wherever there is competition, advertising rules.
