I like much of what your saying and have felt at times my forwarded traffic from my premium domains would convert much better had there been some way for me to cobrand the destination site or sponsor content they see. I feel though that for much of what your saying to actually happen sponsors will have to initially cut into their profit margins and shell out the money needed to make it happen. Frankly, I don't see that happening because for every 1 of you, there's 100 other affiliates who are content doing things the way they are now.
The only real motivation for sponsors to change would be if affiliates began boycotting them and their sales started declining. I will add though, that the one sponsor who is really able to listen to affiliates and integrate many of these ideas on a large scale will definitely take a competitive lead.
