That’s like saying I was diversifying on my mining stock market pick because the company I chose ran three seperate mines … surely one had to be profitable …
Losses on the other two mines have to be paid for somehow … so it’s much better to have three companies.
:laugh:
Look – the money side was just an exercise – my point was affiliates do get a bigger slice of the cake under the current deal (hence the complaints about reduced income) – and with no bundling there are occasions when the casino / affiliate program loses out.
The easy money cashflow has dried up right now – and it appears that many businesses (programs and affiliates) have not planned well for possible lean times … so eventually those costs will be relocated to the affiliate in some shape or form.
:huh:
Bundling going forward is not unfair in itself (even though it will hurt our bottom lines in reduced revenue) … as long as retrospective changes don’t occur and this should be on new customers only.
But this situation does just underlines the importance of having many irons in the fire … and not specialising too hard in one group just because they do not bundle right now.
