That's because they know I'm right. Sponsors who do what I want will then have to split those sign ups with me. They will avoid that as long as possible. But it will be unavoidable after a few big sponsors start co-branding because only a fool will keep doing things the old way.

You will see. Give it another year or two.
Webmasters are going to start going out of biz because of low conversions and the affiliate pool will shrink to shit. Sponsors will then see that co-branding is a way to get the cream of the affiliates that are still in biz; and they will fucking need them bad!

some sponsors proably get more typein signup based on their content and domain name, but i don't think it's as much as you think blackmosters or those sponsors would be paying out $50-60 a join

[QUOTE=daveylapoo]It's silly to suggest a sponsor doing what you ask for every affiliate, but if you can prove you have traffic and can generate some decent sales, why not hit up a specific sponsor with your ideas.[QUOTE]

Agreed. This is something that you should consider. Everyone's needs are different, if you find sponsors that you could work with you may want to contact them and see where it goes.
