A little help please

I've just set-up my first affiliate program and I need a little help to see if it all works. I'm kinda new to all this, so any constructive critism would be greatly appreciated.

The site is at http://www.abbycash.com

Overall I like it. I can always use a couple more bdsm sites to promote, so I'm interested. A couple initial thoughts...

---you don't mention webmaster referral when talking about your programs on your main page (I like programs that offer webmaster referral). You should probably have a "programs" page like most sponsors to tell people specifically how you pay, who through and something about them. I'm familiar with ccbill but not everyone is.

---I'd love to see free hosted sites for link lists offered as promo material. It's not a long stretch from free hosted galleries to free hosted sites, and you can't swing a dead cat around here without hitting at least 3 link list owners. You might also want to give potential webmasters a peek at what kind of ads/banners/etc. you have without making them sign up. Sometimes the quality of promo materials can make the difference between a webmaster promoting your program and someone else's.

---Overall I think the site looks good, nice and clean and obviously done with pro techniques. I'll sign up and at least add your sites to my link list. Anything past that will depend heavily on the quality of the free content and promo materials you have to offer.

Thanks for your comments, you've certainly given me something to think about (and another late night staring at my pc).

I think it's my lack of familiarity that's stopped me from putting the webmaster referral on there so far, but I'll read up on it and get that added. I'm happy making the member sites, but this whole affiliates thing is a bit of a leap in to the unknown.

As for free hosted sites, great idea. There's no real reason why not. I'd not thought to put some sample galleries up, or any banners/ads. Sometimes it's easy to get bogged down in the code and miss out the obvious.

Version 2.0 on it's way....
