If an affiliate is worth ANYthing then they've learned at this point what they need to do to make sales. Newbies, while important, come and go but the real, sales-producing affiliates you need to find individually. An affiliate manager may help initially but, over time, the 2% of affiliates worth a damn will already be covered and then you're left with an affiliate "manager" "managing" a bunch of little guys not worth anyone's time.

Two cents.
I disagree, especially for large programs. They are very necessary as a point of contact and face of the program. The security of being able to easily contact a company about problems and the likes is very valuable
