1. Quality RSS feeds 2. Downloadable picture content, at least 15 pics per set. Not just a few sets. If you want to keep an affiliate, namely me, to continue promoting your sites, you have to keep updating the content area. |

1. The current RSS feeds you offer are only good for importing to TGP scripts. There needs to be several hundred well-written words in the description of each entry in order for blog marketers to make use of your RSS feeds. Right now they're pretty useless to bloggers (which I've been saying to 21SexturyCash in emails beginning in October 2008) 2. Content for promotion: 15 pics in a set are only enough for those who primarily build galleries for TGP submission. For builders who make free sites for submission to Link Lists (the basis of this board) you need to offer at least 30 pics in a set and they *all* need to be your best pics from that shoot or they won't get used. 3. Member area access to choose our own content. Many webmasters won't bother promoting any sponsors who won't provide them with access to the members areas of the paysites they're interested in promoting. One reason is so that webmasters can choose content that won't be the same as every other webmaster is using (very important). But it's also a way to know what the customer will be getting when they buy a membership. Knowing that and studying the tours allows webmasters to pre-sell the paysite in ways that result in both sigups and rebills. 4. Tours that convert as well or better than the competition on the same traffic. Many affiliates will run tests to see how your tours convert and make a decision on continuing promotions based on how your tours convert compared to similar paysites/sponsors they're promoting with the same traffic. If your tours don't perform they'll drop your links or remove them from the best positions (most traffic) on their sites. One basic rule to think about is that if you're not paying out at least 5 cents per unique visitor sent to each paysite by an affiliate, then you need to find out why not. If you're not paying out that or more per unique they send you, you won't be able to get a lot of promotion out of affiliates with traffic. All that said, I don't promote your sites a lot right now, and it's mainly because of things I mentioned above. I've written to your people about the RSS feed problem since 2008, with no improvements made. I told them about traffic leaks on your hosted blogs too (not sure if you still have the blogs). I've also asked about hosted FLV files several times since 2009 with no good news coming yet. It's a shame because I was getting almost 10 cents per unique sent, but without the needed tools it's too much work to promote the sites so I don't do it. HTH
