I was just thinking about affiliate programs when this post came up.
What I look for in an affiliate program is:
1) Ease of finding linking codes and ad materials (sounds simple but I'm always amazed at the hoops some programs make you jump through to find what you're looking for).
2) Attractive tours that don't load 101 pop ups on enter/exit.
3) Fast loading stats pages (just dumped a new program after waiting 5+ minutes for a page to load).
4) An arsenal of fresh sites to promote. I try not to go with programs that only offer one or two sites out of a matter of convenience. Oh, I also like it when new ad material is added regularly.
As for per sign up or recurring, I used to go solely with per sign up to make the "Big" bucks fast but am now experimenting with recurring for the long term gain.
