Affiliate list shrinking?

    A year ago I remember showing the full affiliate list and seeing 1400 or 2000 companies (total active + possible). Now I see around 700. When I need to create links for certain sites, when I do the search to quickly pull them up, most of my searches these days do not bring up the sites that I am affiliates with, even if it is typed in exactly how it is listed in my active relationships. Is this cj limiting down what types of sites I can see? Advertisers limiting? something else?

    I have been with CJ for about a year. I was looking for an offer for a new site I was building and I couldn't find a decent company available at CJ. Then I just started looking through all the categories and it sure seemed like there were a lot fewer companies than their used to be.

    I don't have any hard numbers but just my perception.

    This is true, a lot of people are leaving because they charged a lot of money from advertisers.

    Any idea where they go to when they leave?

    Is it due to the recent credit crunch?

    Well I found the answer to why my serches were not grabbing many of the sites I am affiliates with. At some point the advanced search options got knocked over to UK for the additional search options and it must have kept previous settings. My list is back up to just under 1800 with that fix, which reminds me that the list was at 2400 a year ago.
