Ok --- well that was what I was trying to smoke out.

All those things you specify are differences in methods. Obviously there will be differences in creativity and imagination.

I don't understand what difference it makes to you. You are paying on performance. If affiliate A is crappy, then it will show in poor commissions. Are you trying to wag the dog here?

If there are certain behaviors performed by grunge affiliates where you feel they are getting something for nothing, then disallow it in your program terms.

I don't happen to feel these alternate explorations you are suggesting to be elitist. However my personal suggestion would be to pay everyone the same rate. If you have super affiliates, then pay them bonuses. Expire affiliates who don't send sales after a reasonable amount of time.
