Clearly. Whether or not they are buying traffic is a different story. I wonder how often the traffic disappears immediately after sale? Awful lot of those listings have recent traffic inflations bumping up average revenue...

yeah cashing out to the tune of $30M before you revenue gets cut in half, that is some seriously great timing.

the real tragedy is that everyone you are likely to hear from on this subject isn't earning real money. The big earners are all on custom rates already and won't discuss terms or earnings.
Reading the Associates discussion forum is the definition of depression. People running sites for many years talking about earning $200 in a month. please, enlighten us as to your thoughts on the new rate structure!

For sale because they are earning the current owners too much money, no doubt.

wirecutter was pulling millions a year out of Amazon Associates, as are other big names.

If you aren't on a private contract with custom rates already, you aren't swimmin' with the sharks. Big affiliates heard about this a couple weeks ago, and likely had their contracts updated as a result.
