Just a few things I forgot to mention before.

Exclamation Points!!! (actually I mean UNneeded Exclamation Points!!!)

I wish sponsors would hire writers who understand how to construct a sentence or sentence fragment which actually exclaims something. But instead they hire writers who stick exclamation points--including multiple exclamation points--at the end of sentences where they oh so clearly do not belong. I've seen posts with every sentence ending with an exclamation point (can you believe it?!). Sponsors should just stop using exclamation points in their posts and they'll be way ahead compared to trying to figure out where to use one (since in most cases they shouldn't be using one at all). You can only cry "wolf!!!" so many times with no wolf there before readers stop believing you.

Border="1" | ="0"

Sponsors need to stop putting border attributes in their image tags. Some blogs want borders around images. Some blogs don't. Don't try to make design decisions in advance for your affiliates. You're going to be wrong and it will cost you sales.

TESTING the RSS Feeds

Sponsors really need to create some test blogs and use all of the most popular RSS feed management plugins and stand-alone scripts to load their own feeds into the test blogs. They'll be amazed at the end result in many cases. One very popular sponsor puts the link to the hosted gallery in the title of the blog post, which is fine on their own blog where the title link stays as they put it. But feed that post to another blog and the title of the post is now automatically linked by WordPress to the post page and the link to the hosted gallery is now nowhere in the post and the only links in the post go to the main tour page. (Once I caught this and started fixing it manually my signups with that program more than tripled).
