I think one of the problems of the future for affiliates is not that rev-share will decrease, but affiliates will have a harder time getting to the top of search engines when they are competing with the actual search engines and other authority sites that will gain natural backlinks with ease.
Yes i def agree, however i just did a search in google for “credit cards” and “credit card” – not one Bank (or visa / mastercard) was on page 1, yet they all have high pr an authority sites and they pay loads of money to affiliates for stuff credit cards, insurance etc
All of page 1 was affiliates (apart from Wiki)
