The thing you're not getting here is that when you have 60 sites, doing an optimization is an amazing amount of work and good help is hard to find, and sometimes there is a large amount of research involved, especially when you're talking about exit consoles, pop behinds, upsells etc and so on. You usually have to microsupervise everything that gets done. It's a pain in the ass.
Show the work you've done. If it's really that good, you might get some interest from webmasters as long as you'll actually do the work yourself or agree to supervise the designers etc required to get it done. You might be surprised how many webmasters are willing to delegate some responsibility if they think they have someone with half a brain to actually get it done right.

I can tell you that for the most part membership sites, ( pics / videos and solo girl sites) their signup pages are correct at least. Kinda hard to screw that one up since the sign up page should match the site that it is being used for. For those sites I think across the board it is just a lack of innovative tools. Which has nothing to do with optimizing. Sure it takes time to impliment new tools, but if a company can manage to rattle off 60 sites I don't see what they can't put in place good promos and tools to go with them.
The sites that are the worse with tours and signup pages are dating and webcam sites. Sites that typically feature multiple niches but try to take a stab at providing tools for it but mess it up. Or ignore the potential of tapping into niche traffic all together. Like a said this is not a major issue on a solo site.
Sorry but I am not going to post all of my best work on GFY just to prove i know what they hell I am doing. I have been copied way too much and not worth it to me to do this just so some of you can say " oh that does look good" and some of your idiots say " that is dumb" etc... and 100 of you say nothing and start coping it lol. If someone is interested like i have posted a couple times in thread already, give your url and I will give you a little sample of what I think you can do better. Not everything I have done would work for every site. And a LOT of what I would be doing is fixing or changing things that they are already have in place. Suggesting little things like " don't have links to other shit on your signup page" isn't really something that I can display by posting my work here.
It was fun playing with this idea but at this point, it is not worth seriously debating if I am worth it or not, but I would like to continue the discussion of why affiliate companies don't do a much better job with these issues and who typically is in charge of the promos and marketing tools.
