It takes time and a fair amount of trial and error to tweak a site tour to optimize conversions. Until that has been done I don't think it's fair to ask affiliates to send traffic to what is essentially a site running in beta.

It also takes time to produce affiliate tools such as hosted galleries, banners, etc. In this current market those things are essential to most affiliates.

"Amateur" isn't what it used to be. It no longer means lower quality content, and site tours.
