However there are also a ton of models who are good at running their own sites, a good webmaster should be able to choose the models wisely. The frustration over the lack of conversions towards the company supplying the software is a bit misguided

Hey Ryan,
Since you want to start off with "you should", I will as well.
You should read my entire post. Nowhere, did I say I that I was frustrated with MC. I said I was hesitant to sign up. I am weary of a lot of programs with their own billing and their own check writing.
I prefer programs that use CCBIll, Epoch, and others. You know, companies that have always paid on time.
I know how to convert traffic. I am converting 10 year old content into sales daily, and I have been around since 2002, while a lot of my direct competitors are out of business.
When I send clicks to a program like kinkydollars (Jessie Cox) for several days, check the stats and see 0 clicks, I pull the links and say fuck it! This has happened to me with several companies, so again, I am weary to sign up to new programs. Especially when they are not using a billing company that I am familiar with.
These are the reasons I asked if anyone had experiences with your affiliate program. Which I still, haven't seen a post from any current affiliate saying anything yet.
I have model specific content, in which I had shot the model's "rookie content", or a few random pictures of her that I took, and can post, and that can lead out to new affiliate sales with my member traffic, but usually... I have to say fuck it. Because the sites are poorly ran, and don't track clicks or sales accurately.
I know that out of a few hundred member clicks, that there should be a conversion here and there. This is not random surfer traffic, this is member traffic.
One more thing, wise people never say "you should" to anyone. No one wants to be told what he or she should do, should know, etc.
