tigermom - there are plenty of small, hard to find str8 programs. and sometimes that's where i find the best sites to promote within a niche, just like with gay sites.

a webmaster who has devoted his life to a single niche will know MUCH more about that niche and his site will often offer more than just pics or vids of an activity or lifestyle. i've seen spanking sites that tell the history of corporal punishment in the military, in school, they include newspaper clippings and other stuff. when you join a site like that, it has a wonderfully personal feel to it to help keep enthusiasts involved.

but a webmaster like that - having devoted his time to finding models, shooting the content, editing the video, correcting the pics, making and updating his site probably doesn't have the time to really get to know the webmaster side of things nor will he have the best ideas for promotion of his site. he has no idea what kinds of tours sell, nor what to include in the tours. even so, these sites usually sell pretty well.

i spend hours every week looking for sites like that to review and to promote myself. i check with google, i check with link lists, i check at the bottom of other obscure websites in the same niche.

the catch with these smaller programs is that they have a tendancy to have a lot more traffic leaks or to pay a percentage that's too small for me to bother with. on the other hand, if they see you make them some sales, they are often ready to listen when you suggest a higher percentage and a leak-free tour for affiliates.
