How many affiliates have their own sites or send it straight to sponsors?

[Paul Markham]

I'm looking at our stats and see the bulk of the sign ups and best ratios come from guys with their own sites. AVS, Freesite, Review, Blogs, their own tours and the such. Got me thinking.

How many guys send traffic straight to the sponsor and how many send it to their own site, then send it on. Could be a paysite of some sort or anything and how many just send it straight to the sponsor.

Which one do you think is best?

i send it through galleries, blogs, freesites etc..

and the odd html page. I've got a main 'megasite' on the build...i dont think i'd just spam my sponsor links on other people's pages...or buy PPC traffic (because i dont know what im doing with that)

I dont make my own tours unless the sponsor is in desperate need lol.
