Have your affiliate earnings increased/decreased in 2018 compared to 2017?

Similar traffic, but have tweaked on-site conversion factors and earnings up by about 15%

A substantial decrease in affiliate earnings.

Similar for us, ill health aside. Hopefully you're better now.

Decreased revenue.

Few factors, decreased traffic the main one and a few factors which influened the decreased traffic including:
- Increased competition for fewer spaces in Google
- Couple of my niches that were underexposed when I got involved have now got big affiliate companies chasing them
- My own lethargy, ill health etc
- Few decent affiliate programs and the increased amount of work that goes with all the compliance stuff

Massive decrease for me.

Sky stealing affiliates commissions was a major blow. Dr Vegas also stole a few grand a year from me. I have lost a few other accounts with the new regulations and predatory terms. All in all a crap year but Im still holding my head above water and trying to rebuild
Top Performers: Casumo
Worst: I could name at least 10!

I've also started our standard annual poll about how revenue compares between 2018 and 2017, and I encourage folks that posted here to answer that poll as well. It provides a breakdown about how much better or worse 2018 was compared with 2017. And it also has links to the 9 previous annual polls on the same topic, so you can see how this past year compared with other past years too. Here is the poll:

How did 2018 revenue compare with 2017 revenue for you?

Rewards Affiliates: best one : high results - Zodiac Casino and Yukon Gold converted so well in 2018 (in 2017 too).
Buffalo : Results are ok.
Mansion Affiliate : results were not bad in 2018 (+35% comparing to 2017)
Panda, Leo Vegas, Mr Green : bad results
Ladbrokes, Betway, 888, Unibet : 0 (predatory terms)

take your buffalo results and double them, then X 10 and thats what you should have earned....

I will not vote, because we started 2018! Wish you luck guys!

If you're not in the top 10 for "one to two word" short tail prime keywords (no long tail BS); then you're probably raking in small chunks at the bottom of the slot.

What most new affiliates (and many old ones) are unable to fathom is that the top guy takes in all. Everything. Leaves crumbs for the rest.

Affiliates either make fantastic money, or slender amounts. There's nothing average about this game.
