When choosing a sponsor do you look at the payment options?

Some of my favorite sponsors don't pay by Paxum, but I rather use a sponsors with great sites and that always pays on time, than some crappy program with Paxum.
So for me the sites and ratios are more important than payout methods. Everyone can receive a wire, although some might not prefer it, at least it's safe and it always works

Yes I do but also the content and most importantly the TOS

It is a variable I look at but not at all a decisive factor. Nice to have a way to get the cash both fast and with low cost, if not, then I'll just have to have a bit higher limits and wait for a wire instead. It will be a plus for quick payment methods, but not a minus if they do not exist.

* payment by paxum, paypal or okpay is a plus.
* traffic leaks = -
* great tours, multiple tours per site = +
FHGs with matching descriptions = +
(Programs with only 10 FHGs that were designed to sell + descriptions that actually match the content in the FHG get more traffic from me than programs with 10000 FHGs with autogenerated descriptions.)
* convert, simple as that. I don't care if someone is paying 200 pps if they only convert 1:10000.
* make it easy to grab banners, promo content etc. Offer all banners in 1 big zip.
* access to members area = +
* hosted flv's = +
* direct join links = +
* ref code in webmaster link on the bottom of the tour pages = +
* big 'webmasters click here' links on the tour pages = -
* if you don't convert traffic from certain countries make that clear in your faq.
* if you don't credit affiliates for certain types of sales, make that clear.
* No js popups or anything like that on noconsole tours.

I do, prefer Paxum, but Payoneer & Cashx also acceptible.

nah, not really. if they pay by check im good to go

Yes, it's very important. If they dont pay by wire I wont signup.
