I guess it comes down to whether or not programs want to do the work or leave it to the "out of the box" affiliates? I'd think a happy medium would be nice - at the very least allow me to opt-in to notices about upcoming promotions with links, etc. - even a non-HTML, text-only simple message.

This is some of my thoughts exactly. I don't know what's going on inside the members area on all the sites out there, and I wouldn't even wanna find out on my own if you gave me free access, cause it would be much too time consuming. As the webmaster/owner of such sites you have first hand information that can be used to sell sell sell to end users. Information i do not have.
- I worked as a sales person for microsoft before. I started selling software that I knew at first and did pretty well. Later on I was transfered to be seeling developer tools from Microsoft, - tools which I didn't know how to use myself, with the result that my sales rate dropped and I started looking for other things to do...
My point is that it is easyer to sell something you are familiar with, and I am not familar enough with your sites to tell anyone why they should join yours instead of another.
Also RSS would be great, but it wouldn't work for me or for most blog sites. Why? Because most such sites want to work with different partner programs. Selling the same sites day after day will only loose the site bookmarks. Most sites like mine would only have 2 RSS feeds at the most imo.
Also I would like this to be flexible. Maybe i am a lazy affiliate, but i like to design things myself. Plugins that doesn't fit my site will never be used. That's why I would like to see it as a zip file with different banners, pictures and text I could use to make the result appear as I want it to...
