I was speaking in general.
I do not think ALL promotions suck, just a majority of them, so to be fair I say they do. If for no other reasons, how about for the fact that they typically offer me things that I am not interested in what so ever!!
- Give me a ski holiday to yurp (somewhere other than the US).
- Load up a GF card or an American Express and give me that.
- If giving away content how about making sure I can collect my entire prize from the niche that I promote (only big dick - not, oh we have some).

Just stop offering things that somebody whom is NOT in the US cannot actually use or have. Shipping a big screen TV from the US to Canada is fairly stupid especially when I have to pay shipping & duty - yah, great "gift".
Moreover, forget about iPods, Hummer, computers, DVD players etc.

How about the geniuses that were giving away a dining experiences to fine restaurant ... IN ARIZONA. I mean WTF, are you on? How about sending me that which they are smoking!

A certain program, which we used to send 55K-60K/period, jumped on the contest bandwagon. At first, I left things as is for a while until sales started screaming otherwise. They (give-aways) became routine as did the drop in sales/earnings. YANK! I got sick and tired of this occurring with many of the programs that had "special promotions".
Now, they are lucky if they see 5K!

Here's a "special promotion": offer the potential member 3-months for the price of two-months and pay me for three!
I win.
They win.
You win.
^ A true win-win-win situation that makes sense!

As far as I am concerned, sponsors that feel the need to always have special promotions should think about reward programs. Something similar to what PlatinumBucks already offers. Instead of rewarding just one account, how about showing appreciation to all webmasters, especially for those that say they do (appreciate all their webmasters/accounts).

That is a truly fair promotion, as far as I am concerned. of course, those that send next to nothing will not like it because they'll have to work harder to get better rewards.

You are correct - IC did have good promo, however, I was not sending to IC - they unfortunately do not offer BD specific/themed sites.
