This still doesn't change the fact, that when you ask a sponsor for something if they are not prepared to help, then they are not worth the effort of promoting.

I know its easy to create banners. I think people forget, ultimately you are making the sponsor money, so to ask for a little thing like a banner is not a big deal and they should be happy to help. You may be getting 50% of sales you send, but we all know that not all traffic you send will sign up and be cookied, so the sponsor is always getting bonus signups from heaver promoters.
