I've had one affiliate program tell me they don't need new affiliates, obviously they aren't receiving any.

I think it's incredibly important to know who you are sending traffic to, not just how teh site looks. If a site looks great on the tour I ask to see the members area, i want to know it's going to retain, becasue if it isn't the program will go out of business.

I think that the most important part of my job when dealing with affiliates is to make them feel comfortable sending. I want them to know I have an idea of what does well and I can optimize their traffic even if that means sending them to another affiliate program.
