So many affiliates reach only for the low-hanging fruit in this day and age and this really causes problems with companies. More to the point, if a company pays 5% commission to affiliates and realizes that 50% of their affiliate transactions add no value at all, it is very easy for them just to lower their commission and leave the value-add affiliates scratching their head and wondering why. That is the last thing that an affiliate wants is to be punished for the others who are not playing by the rules.
