The issue tho is getting ENOUGH unwatermarked videos on a consistent basis. This is what I'm dealing with right now. A very good affiliate needs unwatermarked videos but he's requesting a lot, on a consistent basis. Usually not a problem providing a few videos to get things started but getting him (or any affiliate) a TON of unwatermarked vids is hard to accomplish. I have a full-time Editor who edits, watermarks, etc so for him to upload in essence TWO versions (watermarked and UNwatermarked) is way too time consuming.

I am looking for a solution tho. LOL
Personally I don't care if there is a logo. But having the url there starts to cross the line depending on how blatant it is. I've even seen some where they display the url in huge letters at the end and tell the surfer using the audio to type the url in.

I always laugh too when I see an affiliate with a sponsor banner up which consists of mainly the sponsor's url in huge letters all the way across the banner. I've seen this on some huge niche blogs and it always made me scratch my head as far as wondering what the affiliate was thinking in putting up those banners.
