Are There Promo Tools Your Sponsors Offer That You Have NEVER Used?

[Lee]

For example, rss feeds, hosted free sites, regular banners and buttons (i know a lot of affiliate make their own) free content, hosting, etc, etc?

Do your sponsors offer promo tools that you will simply never use for whatever reason, either you prefer to make your own galleries and free sites, would rather create your own blog posts (in the case of rss feeds) or simply dont like the banners and buttons most program owners create?

Likewise, are there promo tools that you will ALWAYS use if a sponsor program has them?

I will always use banners and promo content.

To date I have used nothing else.

I'll use the rss feeds, hosted flv files, banners if they aren't horrid, but I make my own when I need one a certain size and they haven't one available.

Occasionally I've used the page-peel ads but can't say I see much in sales from them, I'm not a big fan of the pic or movie of the day stuff so rarely use those. I do link over to the free sites and affiliate coded blog links if I remember to toss them onto a hub site or put them in my blogroll.

I'll also select using a hosted gallery over making my own. Pics I get for the blogs only if there isn't an rss feed, or if there is a select set that fits a niche I need to fill. (Like using Buzz West to get some military content for instance).

Now you say that Squirt, its only really the last couple of months that i have started using RSS feeds and to be honest with you, im only using the few i have because i simply dont have the time to write all the posts myself.

On the mainstream blog side of things however, im noticing that i am using a lot more RSS feeds than what i use for porn, although to be fair, not many in the non adult realm actually understand that automation, even using rss feeds, is a good thing so i pretty much have my pick of the crop because the feeds are not over-exposed.

I'm curious about hosted flv files, seems that there's so much more available on the straight affiliate programs than the gay ones. I want to try a tube site, obviously bandwith is a concern so flv's make sense. Some sort of Jub/Tube hybrid might work.
