Paying for their hosting/bandwidth can provide a real, tangible benefit instead of other bonuses. My opinion.
If you had actually read my post completely you would see that I said I would not be anal about them ONLY promoting us - we would negotiate a line of best fit on a case-by-case. We WANT them to promote others as well - we welcome the competition because our stuff sells itself over most competitors.
How many times have you been burned? I know personally I have been MANY times - both as an affiliate and as a program owner.
Do the right thing by me and I will ALWAYS do the right thing by you - that is the point.
Of course if someone with references or I know will commit to me as I wil commit to them comes along I would ALWAYS consider.
EVERYTHING is ALWAYS negotiable.
Like you said, I did say that, and as we shoot all of our content with our own models it don;t get much more exclusive than that !!
And there my friend is exactly what I am saying - the offer was to provide some indication of the level of cross-commitment and support one can expect working with us.
Not the other way around.
And why can't it be a two-way street?
I appreciate your comments, because it gives me the opportunity to expand on what I was saying:
I work TOGETHER with a small group of affiliates, rather than just shotgun across the board and hope for the best.
This means no over-exposure, better service AND a good deal for all involved.
That business model has served us well up to know and will into the future.

I'm not going to go into your post point by point, because you answered MOST, if not all of my questions.
I will also clarify, that by the tone of your last couple of sentences you took my response as an attack. This is simply not the case. I have a low post count over 2 years because I simply REFUSE to attack people for simply posting here.
I do however point out what I feel are shortcomings and/or inconsistencies. As I said, you answered most of my questions, and OVER-EXPOSURE would have been the first one I would have spoken to you about in private. I DID say, I would contact you IF I was promoting gay programs.
The only exception I will take is with you stating, "If you had actually read my post completely you would see that I said I would not be anal about them ONLY promoting us."
This DOES imply you're preference to webmasters who will solely promote your program. This is simply not feasible as you personally state with your comment, "How many times have you been burned? I know personally I have been MANY times - both as an affiliate and as a program owner."
I don't want to leave my post on a negative thought, simply based on what "I" feel was a professional approach to constructive critcism. So, I'll reiterate what I posted earlier. I would approach you about promoting your program (IF I promoted gay programs) but only on MY terms.
Not yours.
