What Do You Think The Most Over-Rated Affiliate Program Feature Is?

[Lee]

We've all seen them, programs that offer everything under the sun, hosted promo tools out of the wazoo, specialized scripts to track affiliates traffic and sales, etc, etc.

I was just wondering, out of all the different features programs have available to them to date, what type of feature or product do you think the most over-rated one is?

I have a couple of worthy mentions, the first being no-console tours, to me it doesnt matter if a site has a console or not. Also free content, to me, i really dont care if a sponsor has free content available.

So what about you folks, what features on affiliate programs do you think are over-rated?

Regards,

Oh geez, I don't know. I think maybe Flash banners have become completely obsolete with the changes in IE. So I think any program that features them is wasting time.

Non-hosted free content is worthless to me. I've only heard of one sponsor that would supply 2257 documentation. Also, a number of link lists and a few TGP's will not take free content submissions.
