-LOW PAYOUT LESS THEN US 200,--
-FULL ACESS TO MEMBERS AREA (could be dangerous if paysite contains mixed content like exclusive and licensed)
-WEEKLY UPDATED FHG WITH !!! DESCRIPTION
-MAKE THE FHGS THAT AFFILIATES CAN PUT THEIR TGP RECIP ON THE GALLERY (i am not sure how this should work, unless you give your affiliates a ftp access)
-EMAIL WEBMASTER WITH NEW PROMO CONTENT AND SPECIAL PAYOUTS
-WEEKLY PAYOUTS
-FHGS WITH LARGE HOSTED THUMBS
-EAT CHARGEBACKS INHOUSE ! (good content site should not have more than 2% chargeback and thats really affordable)
- FPAs and HPAs (i dont know if that makes sense, do you guys use them ?)
and finally: (this is very important for me because i originally come from hospitality industry)

Take everything you read on GFY with at least a few grains of salt. In my opinion, NONE of what is listed above is what I would consider affiliate program essentials. Big multisite sponsor programs have the staff and cash flow to handle all of that, but the independent has only so much time to manage it all.
Just give me the basics, and be receptive to special requests and I'm happy.
