Even if it is only 10%, why not to pick it up, provided that it costs you almost nothing.

I understand what you're saying. And I never leave money on the table if I can help it. My affiliate program IS open. I'm always hoping the next baby whale will be born and swim into my ocean.
But I can log into NATS right now and look up my resellers. And here is what I see: 90% of them logged in one time when they first joined...grabbed all the hosted content and have never sent a single hit and never logged back in. That would be surfers signing up. We have since changed it to where we have to approve your account first.
Of the other 10%...I can see where the majority of them do log in. And they might send 10 or 15 hit a day and NO sales. They are the same guys who make up most of GFY. Johnny Come Latelys who think they can build a page or blog their way to fame and fortune.
And then there are a handful of TRUE webmasters with actual free sites of quality that have been in business for years and have developed a trust with their surfers and/or their niche. And that handful of guys are the ONLY ones that send sales.
That is the reality of it.
But yes, I'm open so in case a guy comes in that does have a real site and hasn't signed up yet...I'll be there.
But again, Big Tits is a pretty broad niche. For barefootsies and tony404...the REAL webmasters in that niche will seek them out and write them an email and ASK to promote them. Remember...they are specialized micro-niches.
