It would depend on the sponsor. If it was one of the big corporate sponsors I would tell them I only promote programs that pay me in advance and then ask for their offer. If it was a 'mom & pop' (amateur site) operation, I wouldn't mind that at all. I don't see the point of the big sponsors having their flunkies calling around to affiliates begging for traffic. For every program that I don't send traffic to, I have another 20 just like it.

Since were on the subject, and I am a professional hijacker, do sponsors even care about the free site crowd? Do they understand the inherent value of filtered link list traffic? Every time I search through sponsor content and find that they only release 15 or 16 pics per set instead of 20+, I cringe and say 'they don't love me'. When I see that all of their content is screen craps, again, 'they don't love me'.
