The reason for staying away from these big programs is because typically their sites are shit. I've found I tend to do much better with smaller programs that only have a handful of sites.
Agreed - although i made my first ever sale with TCG. The big problem with bigger programmes is that they get complacent because of their size, and sit back and forget about updating, as they figure that they have enough affiliates bringing in revenue to not be arsed about updating (i.e. BlacksOnBlondes).

That, and the bigger the program, the more promoted the sites are, the more saturated the content, the lesser a chance of a sale because the surfer has probably already seen it.
