Kind of a lurker here, but you forced me to post.
I think what you need to do is start shooting your own content and start your own program.
Affiliates already make more than sponsors can afford in alot of situations.
They pay for the content.
They pay for the hosting.
They pay for the processing.
They pay for the free servers given to you to promote.
They pay for the customer support for members.
They assume the liability and fraud.
They risk being prosecuted by the government.
They pay countless employees to process and make all that free promo stuff you use.
They pay to ship checks out.
They pay to send epassporte.
They pay for advertising so the site stands as a brand and is worthy of promoting.
You send just the traffic and make half or more of the customer.
Sounds fair to me.
