PIMP ROLL Bans Email Based Sales

03-24-2005, 09:40 AM

EMAIL PROMOTION IS NOT TOLERATED

Sending traffic from email will result in immediate termination and all monies forfeited.
PimpRoll accepts no email promotion OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER.
Any traffic from email will result in immediate account cancellation and forfeiture of all monies.

I logged in to see about selling their new solo girl site and was greeted with this announcement.

I love Camdough

I think all affiliate programs sooner or later will be headed in that direction.

probably, and then they will make different programs based offshore with different names for spam promotion.

Everyone is getting letters from the FTC now. They are on a witch hunt and someone, some sponsor, is naming names.

Just read the pimproll board seems they weren't making much profit from mail traffic anyway.Below is what prdave wrote on the pimproll board

Everyone says their lists are real/legal
Mail generates sales, but profit? Not that I have seen.
So the decision was an easy one.

Mail promotion was such a tiny % of our BIZ.

As most already know we've been phasing it out over the last year.

I am sure there are plenty of other sponsors that will gobble it all up and good luck to them

PimpRoll is not interested in this type of marketing.

Anyone can make a quick buck, but the FTC can also freeze all assests overnight.

Question for pimproll,

Do you still allow traffic from sites that mail , but dont directly mail for pimproll.

Lets take a hypothetical situation..

I have a vbulletin forum , much like gfy , but its a surfer porn forum.

To read the threads you must be a registered member of the forum.

On the forum i post different categories of free hosted galleries.

Every month or so ( usually when i do a major update ) i email out a notice about the update on my forum to every user in the form of a newsletter.

The newsletter never contains advertisers names or even site names, it usually is described as follows.

Dear user XXXXX

We have just added a major update to the website.

144 new cumshot pictures added
121 new cumshot videos added
103 new lesbian videos added

P.s. dont forget to login now and again to check for messages and updates ont he site.

Smokey if you mail your subscribers about updates to your sites and the destination pages on your site have PimpRoll ads. Your account will be closed.

Also if you promote PimpRoll from behind password protected areas without our approval, your account will be closed.

No it wouldnt be anything like that . The destination page would simply be the forum , just like gfy newsletters

Infact no pimproll banners would be displayed , only free hosted galleries, ( and that would be a few pages inside the forum )

btw this is a hypothetical question , i'm not a pimproll affiliate , i'm just asking.

lets forget the password protection for now , thats not really applicable anyways.

Like for example, GFY is an advertiser for pimproll arent they ? and they email me newsletters that i click and directly display your banners, just curious as to how this affects them/us/future

Yes we advertise our program on GFY.

And we can go through a million senarios here, but...

If you send an email to someone, and the destination page (could be after numerous re-directs and jump pages) has an ad or link for an adult related PimpRoll product, your account will be closed.

I'm curious about this as well
if it's an actual newsletter that is opted in to and actually contains some information...it better not have any pimproll ads?

Is anyone else doing this? I want to take their ads out of my newsletters if I'm not going to be paid for them...

note, these aren't just ads sent to people, these are actual join4free type newsletters

Opt-in adult xxx newsletters (join4free type newsletters) will no longer be an acceptable method for promoting our products.

How hard is "if the surfer comes from a mailout, we will close your account"?

This also shuts down those "second hand" mailers... hiring someone else to spam and redirect to your TGP / sites / blog / whatever won't work either.

How much fun is this?

Again im not trying to bash you , just curious, its a pretty big step.

It just seems a bit strange that you would allow YOUR program to be displayed on sites that email but you wont allow the exact same thing to your affiliates.

So you promote your program thru email ( directly or indrectly ) , but dont allow other to promote your sites the same exact way .

Trust me nobody hates spam emails more than me , and its a programs choice how they want to be promoted, and you should be applauded for taking some steps at least , i just wonder if you have gone overkill.

Spam generates complaints.

You can try to disguise your promotion a million ways.

If we get a complaint and it's valid, you know the rest.

I think your missing my point , i'm not planning on spamming anything , i dont mail period.

Owning a forum isnt "spamming" its owning a forum . If you have a newsletter informing users of new items its not "spamming" its the same thing gfy does. If i click a thread posted in a gfy newsletter , i will likely at some point find your banner at the top of my page.

Infact in my example above i posted an even toned down version of what gfy does.

The banners wouldnt even be displayed..

I just thought it was sort of strange that you would choose to promote your own program in a way that you wouldnt allow your advertisers to.

It's simply a business decision.
