Either way... I'd give them both what they wanted and as far as I can tell that is what most sponsors do.
Say you are #2 for a certain key phrase in Google. Say the #1 site is the paysite you are promoting. Now let's say Google makes some changes and while your site stays at #2 the old paysite at #1 is replaced with a link to a page on an illegal tube with 500 full length videos from the sponsor you are trying to sell.

What will happen to your sales?

It's the same principle at work.

Another simple example here. Let's say you have affiliate A and Affiliate B. Affiliate A shows three 30 second promo clips to 10,000 people per day and makes 9 sales a day. Affiliate B shows 500 45 minute full scenes from your member area to 7,000,00 people per day and makes 10 sales a day (including those generated from type-ins). Is Affiliate B really better than Affiliate A?

Now what if there were a measurable effect that of those 7,000,000 that affiliate B showed your video to it was shown that it basically assures that they will never purchase a membership from you again? Probably you would prefer affiliate A because otherwise eventually you are going to run out of paying customers.
