We look at the website, the network, etc. and try to find the best way to help that affiliate promote. I answer all new leads as soon as I can - usually within 1 day, if not hours.

I wont approve sites that offer or support piracy, period. I also won't typically approve accounts if you dont have an active source of traffic up and running.

On a similar note: We've done whitelabel stores (and now, responsive VOD Theatres) for a long time. Our old system was very similar to the ones you see now where anybody can just fill out a form, upload a few pictures and they end up with a shitty-looking generic whitelabel. (I think of this as a "set it and forget it" mentality, which is great if you dont want to make money ;) )

Now we take the time to actually vet all potential affiliates. Our developers personally build the Stores/VOD Theatres specifically for the new partner site, so typically we want to see a high volume of traffic/Alexa rank/Google pagerank from a non-whitelabel source before building a store for a new partner, but there are always exceptions...
