So, I keep seeing these threads about this site or that site taking video and using it to promo a side, 1 minute members area clips 25 minute clips etc etc. How much is too much? Take myself, I don't have any help, Im the sole person running the site, so I count on good affiliates to get me the traffic I need to survive. Now, I have been lucky in the fact that the site is more than known in the fetish it's in. But, allowing the affiliates to do whatever it takes to get them a sale seem to be the most important thing. Over the years I have allowed a few affilaites (after proving thet could send sales and traffic) to simply have access to the members area and let them pick the stuff from it that they would like to use to promo the site. These affiliates have become simpliy the bread and butter of my affilaite sales.

Sites like mine, don't have the resources to maintain (or in my case even install run) a true affilaite program like some of the bigger companies. I have tried, with both Mas and Nats in the past and there just are too much for a single site. I'm no server guy buy any means and the scripts are just above me. Period.

I'm wondering cause I seem to have hit a cap, 5-12 sales day steady now for the last 3 years, and have been wondering what I could do to try and raise that.

At the same time, I don't want to oversaturate and give everything I have away to 100 affilaites to do with as they please...

Right now I have a ton of affiliates, but only 4 that actualy produce. over 70% of my traffic comes from yahoo and google searches for me. So whats a good balance? Should I stay the current course and just let the site keep going as it has been since 2001, or should I try (Again) to maybe setup a new affilaite program, using say the free mpa3 from eproch. Should I test the waters and see if there is a larger affilaite program that would be interested in adding my site to their program? Or, should I just try to find 1 or 2 new affilaites and let them have full access to the members area content and let them pull the stuff they like?

Your thoughts.
