You might get some masters thesises in here with that one. Hard to pin it down but I think it all boils down to whether or not people are gonna sign up to the sites or not. So I guess most important is hot exclusive content shot well and updated frequently. As far as frequency and reliability of payouts goes, I personally don't even care if they're a day or 2 or 3 off with the checks if their shit is selling like hotcakes. Quality free hosting is a massive deal to alot of affiliates I think, especially small to medium range guys.
