affiliate program best practices - Adam and Eve

Hey guys,

I?m working on a business school (believe it or not) related project and thought I would get some input from the people actively marketing in the adult category. I am basically looking at ways to improve affiliate programs and am using Adam and Eve?s program as my benchmark for good practices and new things that affiliates would like to see being offered.

If anybody has experience with the program and would like to comment, that would be great. Additionally, if you are dealing with any programs that are really outstanding or have ideas about how affiliate programs could be improved and things you would like to see offered let me know.

Link to the Adam and Eve affiliate program site in case you need it:

Question recap:
- What do you think about the Adam and Eve program (Standard? Sub-par? Industry leader?)
- Are there any programs you consider to be the best around?
- What do you wish affiliate programs would offer that they don?t currently/always offer?

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

*and no, I don't work for them nor has this project been commissioned, I just simply picked a big name company to use as my base measure*
