I'm not in the business to lose money and PornMD's comment has me rather concerned.

I would also like to hear from GFY members who USE sponsors (rather than being sponsor) and which ones have worked well for them, conversion rates, etc

Thanks so much for everyone for your continued help!!
Well if it makes you feel any better, I tried only 3 programs albeit all covering the niche of the traffic, and it could have been that I tried ineffective ones or that perhaps a whitelabel solution that would make it look more like its own site would have been better...in my case I kind of doubt it because the domain wasn't that brandable but in yours you could certainly build whitelabels on some of those. I also didn't test it on them for that long (I'm impatient)...I think it was overall 2-3 weeks that I tested.

I've personally just never really had a positive experience, adult or mainstream, with redirecting parked domains to affiliates, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. I just think it's better to focus more on making a few sites (presumably white label would still be mostly if not all hands-off or you can look for fully automated solutions) and redirecting the other names to those. That way you have a better chance IMO of getting some high rankings in the SEs and building organic traffic that you probably wouldn't get redirecting them all to aff programs or doing whitelabel on all of them and having them each rely on only their own traffic for growth.
