In addition, you are trying to create a direct cause/effect link between specific aspects of how a site does/does not operate and affiliate results. It cannot be done, because there are simply too many other factors in the way: how many affiliates are selling a particular site relative to the demand for it; are a particular affiliate's traffic sources and sales techniques appropriate for that site; etc.

New sites in particular are going to have to start applying the marketing lessons learned by other industries from here on in. They are very well documented: it's just a matter of time and a question of who goes first.

So who went first (if any) in your point of view or you just declare that things will go other way in the nearest future?
As for now what common i see in successful sites is:
1. money/skills/money&skills (they can be quite aggressive in ad campaigns to brand their name, to find affiliates and so on. Otherwise you can be successful too but when?)
2. quantity (they have a bunch of content named porn, frequent updates, lots of promo content and so on)
3. quality (nice model who attracts surfers, exclusive and stuff)
4. live pussy (posted about this above)
5. personality (nice model who gets paid no matter what happens and works hard)
I can name the new sponsors that seem to be successful among surfers, webmasters or both (which is the goal) 'cause they meet those criteria. One thing i want to add is that it's not the site being popular&successful (like it was before) but it's rather management that makes it popular and successful nowadays.
