What Type Of Affiliate Tools Have You Never Used?

[Lee]

I was talking to Becky from ARS yesterday about affiliates wanting more and more hosted promo tools, pre-written blog entries, etc and was wondering what promo tools that are out there right now on a lot of the sponsor programs are that you have never used?

I know a lot of you folks dont like using RSS feeds because of the duplicate content issues with Google and some of the other SE's but im wondering other than RSS, what other tools dont or wont you use even if offered by a program you promote?

For example, free content, do any of you folks actually use it or do you prefer to use your own licensed sets?

Regards,

I don't use any RSS feeds or free hosted blogs, because of the duplicate content issues indeed. I am not keen on using videosamples either, because you might give away too much. I mainly use pictures (sponsors or own).

I will not use any 2257 noncompliant content, ie. free content without model documents. So I don't use any free content these days other than hosted galleries. If there is a plug in promotional feed such as an iframe, I'll only use it if the sponsor does not show sexually-explicit activity.

I use also free content to build and host galleries by myself. It's more unique and not over used.

How about if we just build affiliates full membership sites, too - and keep it updated for them, and maybe ask them nicely to fly a banner for us.

And let's not forget to make sure we have a reciprocal link back to them as well.
