Most media buyers are keen to this however. On the flipside though, there are many larger sites that do paid advertising for legal reasons, or because it makes financial sense to know exactly how much real estate they have on the site, and exactly how much each spot will make each month. Some people will trade the higher MGR or CPA revenue for the stable guaranteed money.

Most affiliates would prefer a CPA / MGR deal than renting a valuable spot because of the possible loss of money. So they prefer to rent bad spots on their sites. However, I agree that a well organized company would never renew the agreement with such affiliate.

However, making any kind of sustained income will be impossible if they spot does not convert. I once paid $7/click (seriously, per click) on a site and still made money on it! if you have a network of sites and don't have time to manage them all and feel you could profit from a pail advertising model than by all means do it. However, don't sell yourself short. If your clicks are worth $7 then PLEASE get on an MGR deal :) The point you made that stands out to me is that while selling an advertising spot on your portal might not be to difficult, taking into consideration you have a nice design and a good traffic ranking.
