Rochard hit the nail on the head - although boards are in a small way helping, programs need to be more creative and helpful to webmasters. Webmasters can't load up their sites with tons of programs so they need to be selective. Overall the state of the industry is only as good as the creativity of the programs. Those who maintain and continue in the old ways are struggling. Programs who ditch their reps for pay as you go commissioned people will suffer simply because webmasters are having a hard time finding those who have been around a while to trust, much less loose respect for high turn-overs. Rochard mentioned one way of getting the word out there, and there are many more, but the boards are filled now mostly with program reps told to post, surfers and fewer and fewer solid webmasters who actually know what they are doing.
