I think allowing access to a members area for affiliates who have already sent some sales is vital, it will allow us to grab and create some custom promo content that hasn't already saturated the free sites, it also gives an affiliate an idea of the product they are promoting, some members areas are just dreadful and offer nothing, well nothing you couldn't spend a few seconds googling and getting for free (usually via a tube!), so a good members area with model interactivity is (usually) great for affiliates to see so they know where to focus their promo and watch the rebills add up.
Tube sites are a great method of promotion when done properly, using promo content and following the sponsors terms of promo, a tube site offers easy to navigate and view solutions that most surfers know and love, but I also agree with Paul, as an affiliate it really is unfair to see tube sites full of full length movies and practically a full members area for free then see a bunch of ads and popups relating to dating or cams, but hey tolerance has allowed the big tubes to get big and have most of the traffic, you forget that many webmasters will upload full length videos themselves to take advantage of some of the traffic.
