I said this when I was approached with the software and I'll say it again...
Someone needs to just code this out, and offer it for a flat rate per site that makes the time vs reward worthwhile for the developer. There's a fixed amount of work around getting this set up, yet a partnership income is required for the service (a portion of each sale), it doesn't make business sense - the current model heavily favors the developer, and not the program owner/affiliate. It's a good idea, but when they're leveraging your traffic in exchange for a piece of software that requires a fixed amount of work per site in a "forget it, and set it" situation, it becomes a poor deal.
If someone sat down and really wanted to develop this software, I can't imagine it would be that difficult... this is not currently priced correct for what it is, the person/developer who has some time and who listens to me will make some $. It's a basic under cut of what's being offered, and it will be much easier to get programs to sign on. Dev the software, customize it, and charge $500-$1000 per site, or create packages for affiliate programs that have a large amount of sites. Maybe charge a yearly fee or something else, rev share basis on all sales it generates, most program owners will not go for that.
