Too early to tell.
Affiliate reporting always lags reality by a few days, and is then subject to adjustment (people returning stuff they buy). It takes a month or two to see those numbers settle.
But on a hunch... for week 1 the affiliates will have nose-dived as the Google traffic has nose-dived whilst they re-index and everything settles.
A significant chunk of the affiliate revenue comes from guests researching stuff, ending up here and following the links. Fewer spots in Google search results = fewer guests.
From an investor perspective - how has the move to microcosm impacted the revenue from affiliates?
