There are a lot of affiliates out their who are pure junk. They are only out to make a quick buck. That being said, there are also a lot who are of the utmost quality and fairness. Then there are the ones in the middle, and here is where you find a large part of the problem. These are the ones who can do a great job for a while and build solid and honest value based relationships for you that generate good traffic and conversions. Then the day comes that you tell them that you are willing to accept more leads and pay them more money. But just because you are willing to pay, doesn't mean they have the traffic to meet your request. This is the point where the good ones go bad. If they can't meet your request, you bet your butt that they want to find someone who can. Eventually, there just wont be any market left that will be cost effective for an affiliate to reach. What do they do? They invent leads and see what they can get away with. Nobody likes to leave money on the table. This is the point where good affiliates go bad.
