Search engine strategies come and go. Hell, search engines come and go -- remember AltaVista? The trickle of traffic through affiliate links from affiliates who build and maintain links over decadal spans of time might as well be organic traffic, except for the revshare cost of it. It strikes me as pretty dumb to dump that traffic -- for now and for many more years to come -- in pursuit of an SEO strategy that's going to be obsolete and abandoned in 18 months.

I'm in the use all strategies and keep developing them as time goes by camp. Its nearly impossible to detect changes in different business models.
So, I wonder if they (PBoy) are trying to reach out to new affiliates who are closer in spirit to their new "direction(s). The customer comments about recent covers have been scathing.
