Affiliate marketing is intensely competitive - the reason I can make a fair amount of money in the field is because we pursue every advantage at our disposal. The plethora of competitive intelligence tools in the field and the low barrier to entry make it extremely tough. However, there is a high barrier to success as well.

Yup. That's why I moved to my own products and have affiliates work for me, as the stuff I create can't be replicated.
