A better understanding of the problems of the sponsor and the affiliate would no doubt be helpful. From our POV of a small independent paysite, we have a lot of affiliates that send small amounts of traffic so rarley make any sales. We assume they are beginners, amateurs or have forgoten they joined.
The few affiliates that make good sales, do so because they understand what we are doing and can put material on their site so that their visitors can see what are site is about.
We use CCBILL to adminster the payments and we in no way try to cheat the affiliate.
As we have to pay for the cost of making the movies, hosting, web design some of our affiliates make more money from our site than we do.
We would do a lot more for our affiliates but very few ever write, even though we try to e-mail them every few weeks.
We think we provide a good service in giving half our revenue in exchange for a sale. It surprises me that people are not beating down our door to join, that goes to show there is better money to be made in porn if you have the traffic.
