Hotcams was another that had some unique payout programs and promo tools that streamate didn't offer, but they never really got going and eventually fizzled and are now back into Slickcash.

Initially you need some startup capital to keep payouts competitive, starting a streamate cobrand affiliate program with little cash and insulting affiliates with a $5 payout vs the $40 they could receive, is a surefire way to fizzle out soon.

Streamate already offers direct niche linking, I'm not really seeing what your geo specific sites offer. For example, going to your New York cobrand brings me a page of camgirls, none of which are from New York. Your big tit cobrand offers the same thing a busty niche site could link to streamate directly and bring up the same niche page. The only thing that appears uniquely targeted is the domain name.

At least start your beta with a $20 to $25 payout, that will give you plenty of room for profit still and you might attract a few affiliates who are willing to sacrifice the lower payout for a chance to win the contest. As it stands now, the only affiliates I see you attracting are the naive ones who don't realize they are accepting a payout 85% less than what they could receive. Not trying to be a hater, just think maybe you need to rethink your launch.
