Do you run an affiliate program? I have a few questions.

Hi everyone. I am just getting started with a free site featuring a few affiliates and I had some questions specifically for those who run their own programs.

1. Do affiliates programs generally have a problem with webmasters cropping one thumbnail to link to the hosted gallery with? I understand this will vary from one program to another, but in general is it frowned upon?

To clarify, I have a main index page with thumbnails that link to the galleries themselves. To ensure that my site theme is consistent and the thumbnails from various programs are the same size, I have cropped them down to headshots.

2. Is it considered abuse to use most, if not all of the promo galleries offered?

3. How do I use videos offered by affiliate programs and comply with 2257? Most of the programs that I am using require that I host the videos myself. Can I do this even though I have none of the 2257 paperwork? I have yet to come across an affiliate program that offers 2257 paperwork to it's affiliates.

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
