I think it is time for me to work on my affiliate program a little. I think the setup needs tweaking, but mostly, I think the page that explains it needs work to draw people in. Can anyone offer some advice?

What is most appealing about using this program?
What is least appealing, most worrying?
What could I do to make it more appealing?
Here are my thoughts so far... Just braindstorming in here, since the topic came up... Maybe somebody will have some advice on what angle to take.
I should start by outlining the highlights of the program:
Linked Program: Two chances to make a sale, because our sites are linked.
Long-term cookie: Currently, the cookie lasts three months. I intend to extend that somewhat. The thing about this is that our sites create loyal fans, and as long as they sign up eventually, you get paid. Also, we offer non-recurring options... but with this program, your cookie lasts even after your first sale, so if they sign up again-- which many people do-- you still get credit.
Good % Flexible Partnership rate, generally 50%. Making 50% of sales to a unique site like this is pretty good. Plus, since we can work out a personal setup for each affiliate, we can offer even higher rates for great promotion ideas.
Free Content: I offer my affiliates content to promote our sites with. How much is tailored to the individual site, but I can offer quite a lot to work with.
Free Hosting: I even offer free hosting for sites that are solely designed to promote our sites. So you can set up a FPA, tour, gallery, or whatever, and we can host it. That means you don't have to invest anything in promoting us.
Unique Sites: There just aren't other sites like this out there to promote. Very few personal erotica sites have real partner programs, and there aren't many gothic sites out there, either. The combination really works, and it's not like there's a lot of competition.
Promote how you want: Want to build your own tour, and link right to our join page? Cool. Want to build galleries and post them on hundreds of TGPs? Cool. Want to build an AVS site that upsells to our sites? Let me help you out. You get the idea.
Then, I think I should have an area outlining the various ways of promoting our sites... A detailed set of examples, so people can see how flexible I am, and just how many options are available.
What should I be concentrating on? A simple page? Only a few of the big features of the program? Or should I go for the detail?
