We run a Web Directory and our Google page rank is now 0, down from a very healthy 5, 6 and 7 on 100s of pages. We have lots of non affiliate links as we try to reflect all websites from Bellringing to Dating to Volleyball. But Google adwords (ironically!) are outperforming any commission based money. The holy grail for a lot of early webmasters was the company magicbutton which was pay per click. That disappeared and the number of pay per click advertisers also dwindled very quickly. I remember we used to get 20p per click from one recruitement agency but eventually that dried up and we were left with commmissions and leads. Maybe Google is the new magicbutton but I don't think the are going to disappear like magic!? I think that the race will continue and not sure who will edge ahead if either.
