I can't agree with you more on this. I have been established in the "amateur" market for 3 years now and have found that this is the biggest problem amongst amateur webmasters.
It is so simple to create mirror tours. Use one for your referral program traffic, one for your self-generated traffic and one for traffic trades.
Check out my site and you will see
http://www.allrealgirls.com/tour (self-generated traffic has an exit console to a referral program)
http://www.allrealgirls.com/tour2 (pops a friends page and all friends page traffiic is filtred thru this tour)
http://www.allrealgirls.com/tour3 (for my partners to send traffic to. no consoles)
Also another thing I have seen with amateur sites is that they will offer multiple billing options on a tour (eg. ccbill for checks/cc and ibill for 900 and as a backup cc processor) when the referring webmaster can only get paid on one of them. This sucks big time cause you might acutally have a chance of making a sale but the user decides for whatever reason to use the backup processor and I lose the sale.
I have a site that does promote amateur partner programs most of the tours are clean. The few that aren't are personal friends so I let them slide a little on some of my normal requirements.
In my opinion a good solo girl site can convert very well given that the content is exclusive and the sites have personality that is lacking in mulit-girl sites. I have done very well with many of them in the past and continue to today.
