With something like Adsense you have less to worry about. As the money supply increases and money is worth less, AdWords PPC campaign managers will bid more for the same placements and publishers will receive their percentage of those higher bids.
With percentage-based CPA commissions, the same thing applies. End-customer prices go up, so do your commissions.
But what about fixed commissions?
If you currently get paid USD10 or GBP5 per unit sale, how do you plan to deal with inflation as your own daily living costs go up and the commissions don't?
Will you:
1) Hope that programme managers will "play fair" and raise commissions in line with inflation without being asked? <cough>
2) Negotiate with programme managers (either directly or through the networks) for commission increases in line with inflation?
3) Start exporting to the Euro-zone or to other areas where the currencies are stronger than the sharply falling dollar and sterling?
4) Start promoting more programmes. Run a little faster on the hamster-wheel, just to keep up?
A combination of 2) and 3) are my preferred options.
