Just because many of these 2nd/3rd tier companies does not in any indicate that they have legitimate traffic and satisfied customers.

These companies have so little overhead; and most have total employees that you can count on 2 hands (some companies 1 hand).

They make money because almost every advertiser at one point is going to try a program like these for $200 to see if it can work. Advertisers' are desperate to find a cheaper alternative than Google and Yahoo.

I would LOVE to see customer retention rates; I bet it's somehere around 1-2%. But they don't care. Again you just need enough people to try you out for $200 and you have a pretty good business model given such low overhead and absolutley NO advertising.
