I contacted each sponser twice with a polite inquirey as to whether I could aquire a few more softcore sets to further promote their sites. Each E-mail was sent two weeks apart so as not to appear I was badgering.
Neither sponser replied to me unfortunatley and I understand they are busy and probably get tons of bogus requests for freebie content.
My question is...............am I just too small and need to establish/confirm myself further to be considered trustworthy, or do I need to go about it another way. Neither sponser is major from what I see, but they offer unique opportunities I'd like to pursue further.
I purchased some content recently, but after reading this thread I thought I would inquire before I used it.
Thank you in advance

It seems to me that a sponsor that didn't bother to answer your e-mails is either not active, or does not care about their affiliates. I would think twice about using a sponsor like that myself.
Don't give up, you have the right idea. Contacting the people you want to promote is ALWAYS a good idea, and the ones that will do well for you are the ones that will corrospond willingly and in a timely manner. Remember the old saying.. if you want something done, ask a busy person. Successful and busy people always make time for the ones that will potentially make them money.
As far as using your purchased content to promote this paysite, it really depends on the site. As some others have stated, some paysites don't lend themselves well to targeted niche content, where others do.
Also, don't forget about your traffic.. always make sure your traffic belongs to YOU! Using sponsor content is somewhat of a risk when for example, you get a good search engine listing. What if the sponsor is not converting well? You're stuck, because you can't use their content to promote anyone else but them... Something to think about
