I think the main thing to find is a sponsor that has the same audience as your site / traffic source...
We have several affiliates from arty indy websites and they make good sales at racios that don't seem to have changed much over the years...
Affiliates that send us traffic from very different niches find that it will convert poorly...no surprise there.
From galleries we have very varies results, from free posting we have had ok results, and then sales from galleries posted years ago, we paid for listing and had no sales for months and then after we stoped, sales came in...
I can be a long time between a punter visiting a site for the first time and buying... trust issues ?
We do not cheat our affiliates, why would we?
We think we offer a good deal though, after all we make the films photos, pay for the hosting, etc 50% for the traffic is a pretty good deal....
