Affiliate programs need to reach out to their affiliates on a regular basis. In my case I run a blog network and I am in CONSTANT need to get content - I just can't get enough. I read every email that is sent out with new galleries and what not. Also, in some cases, a nice little reminder that the affiliate program exists is a huge help.
I run YNOT Mail and I am disappointed more companies do not use it. A great example of this is Teen Harbor - I recently discovered they have a chick named Busty Buffy. I have a never of "big breast" blogs and wish I knew about this site. Too bad they don't send out emails on a regular basis (and if they do, they must be going to spam).
Spam is another problem. A lot of programs just send out via NATS or MPA3, and frankly you are just blindly sending out bulk email which goes to spam.
ALL of you are sitting on a gold mine of data and none of you are using it. If you have a membership based site you have a long list of both members and affiliates. You should be reminding your affiliates about your program every week to encourage them to push your sites, and you should be mailing your past members to get them to come back or to send them to other similar sites.
I will be online and working this weekend if anyone is interested.
