It stopped me. I signed up for your program months ago and right after, you did one of your numbers on here. That was it for me: your links never made my sites.
Like others have said, the kind of affiliate you go after is your choice and there are surely enough for you to work with who do think your attitude is cool. I'm just not one of them.
Sure it's business. It's been my business for almost 8 years. I'm not empire building, but I earn money year in and year out (and by extension, for my sponsors too). And although I can always find space for new sponsors, I don't need them badly enough to take a chance on someone who (by my standards) doesn't come across as professional.
You're not the first to say that their online persona is only a marketing gimmick. Maybe it's true, but why should I risk finding out it isn't? At the very least you are playing to an audience which includes a lot of the kind of people who do the business more harm than good: cowboys we can thank for the Visa regs, burned out surfers, etc., etc. Since I intend to be here in another 8 years, it makes no sense for me to support programs that seem to have an eye only on the short term.
