Hi Dave,

I think your blog post is spot on. As you pointed out, MLM is heavily dependent on getting those deep layers of downline commissions by recruiting new members...affiliate marketing is not.

It seems that a better comparison for affiliate marketing would be that it's really not much different than just about any commission based sales job. The main difference being that affiliate marketing is online and more automated.
