    there is babe blogging, and then there is real honest to god blogging. I can list a dozen good blogs that do it right and I'll bet you dimes to dollars you'd love their ratios.

    If done right blogging is a massive search engine traffic catcher and if you target the right keywords its easy to catch people who are already looking for an excuse to spend money.
    I don't know much about the whole blogging. I'm just referring to the blogging I've made reference to in this thread. I know there are many slick nice blogs out there. I'm just referring to the ones that seems to gravitate towards us LOL.

        I agree, they are the minority and the ones you really don't want as affiliates. Most sites have listened and changed for us.

                when people stop stealing your images or misdirecting traffic you'll know something is wrong. being web policeman is a part of the biz and with as much as you invest in your content, there is no end in site. best of luck--

                    well mate i hate to hear it. just know I'm on your side in the respect that I honestly believe we've been giving away far too much for far too long in this industry and babeblogging is a prime example of that. I mean holy fuck when they do fusker style images and you dont even have to click to see the image.... you're just giving it all away to the least common denominator, generating empty and worthless traffic.

                    If i was a paysite owner I'd be looking for an excuse to cut em off too ;)
                    I have a Porn Blog that's actually fun to read. Like it? Link To It.

                        yeah... I have seen a lot of blogs using content (not theirs) to push their own blog!

                            Am I the only one who sees a little bit of irony with this thread given this Thread



                            Im not supporting people who are abusing the free promo content... but, its kinda hard to police when there is so much of it available... victim of your own success maybe?

By limiting what you are selling if you do the job right you increase your chances of making a sale. This isn't roulette. Our content is to be used to promote Twistys. Anybody who educates the surfer on what they are looking at and sells them on Twistys will make more money promoting 1 thing than promoting 12 things.
                                        well in this case you would be pepsi, so you would be buying and hense of course you would only be promoting yourself. if you want to use this analogy you can look at it this way too: tv networks don't just advertise pepsi in every commercial throughout an entire program. they diversify and know that if someone isn't interested in product x, they might be interested in product y. i totally understand your stance but you have to look at it from an affiliate stance as well.
                                        you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                            When I promote companies on our free sites I promote one company per gallery/sales page. If I can't be profitable by promoting that one company then either that company doesn't convert well or (more than likely) I don't know how to sell them properly.

                                                I've kept quiet about this long enough. Blogs are running wild taking our content and promoting AFF and others. They put a simple banner at the bottom to Twistys and think that makes it OK! Not in my books. Am I the only one fed up with this practice? The worst part is arguing with these blog owners. They are telling me I'm wrong

                                                This is for other paysite owners that have high quality content. For Ftv Girls, Atk, Karups, Met Art, Hegre, Scoreland, MediumPimpin, Sapphic Erotica, 1byday, Matt's Models, Danni.com, Penthouse, Lensman Playboy and others. How do you feel about blogs taking your content and using it like this.

                                                Example 1: fusker style with links between pics to other sponsors
                                                http://www.bodsforthemods.com/galler...-With-Faith-4/
                                                http://www.bodsforthemods.com/galler...-Modelos-Babe/

                                                Example 2: taking the content and just putting a banner at the bottom. AFF above content and link back to the blog below content
                                                http://www.galleries.badgirlsblog.co..._all_over.html
                                                http://www.galleries.badgirlsblog.co..._outdoors.html

                                                Example 3: one link before content and then AFF links below content
                                                http://babes.timekiller.com/index~sh...62~spn~ndn.htm

                                                Example 4: Pure rip of content no links to the source
                                                http://www.allthepink.com/album.php?id=224

                                                Example 5: more fusker style using Penthouse content to promote AFF and others
                                                http://glam0ur.com/gals/penthouse/je...er_emerson.htm

                                                Example 6: more penthouse content theft. Links to another sponsor up top, misleading thumbs below gallery and just a small penthouse banner at the bottom (just to make everything ok )
                                                http://nudeparadisehotel.com/the-perfect-ass

                                                So the question to paysite owners is simple, Do you think this is acceptable?

                                                if i catch shit like that i treat it just like i would content theft. i'm pretty diligent, but i can only see so much in a day. i think its mostly because blogs matured in the affil environment first and now programs are catching up with it. a neutral, comfortable, mutually beneficial ground will have to be found.

                                                    on another sour note- blogs and user forums/communities are pretty similar architectures and the "user"-posted stolen content from most of the programs already mentioned here is staggering. all of the big paysites are ripped and posted by these vermon/thieves. we all know it- but what are companies like twistys et al. doing about it? it seems like the tide is in favor of the vermon as of right now....

                                                    even if one's content is watermarked - that is no excuse for a webmaster to misuse it. the surfer mentality becomes "why should i pay?" and we are left with only newbies and hardcore fans paying....

                                                            even if one's content is watermarked - that is no excuse for a webmaster to misuse it. the surfer mentality becomes "why should i pay?" and we are left with only newbies and hardcore fans paying....
                                                            while we are on the subject.........

If I can't be profitable by promoting that one company then either that company doesn't convert well or (more than likely) I don't know how to sell them properly.
                                                                                    yes, true but to me, its just about maximizing traffic. there are just some people who won't be interested in joining the paysite but you might be able to sell them dating or penis pills, etc. if they are already a member of twistys there is no hope for a sale if you have nothing else advertised. usually when make single gallery, i just use the main sponsor but when it comes to entire sites, you gotta mix it up a little in my opinion.
                                                                                    you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

                                                                                            on gallery pages it should be NOTHING BUT that sponsor. If you happen to have a banner or 2 in your side bar, so be it. But making AFF/Adbrite ads the main clickable links is lame. If the surfer doesn't like the gallery, make it easy for the surfer to get back to the main blog page with a nice shiny link to "HOME" or something so they can look for something else.

I keep hearing that babeblogs themselves are not profitable. I can only speak for myself, and Bods is highly profitable and 95% of this profit somes from model affiliate programs. With that said you have a problem, no sweat - i will modify my galleries for you to make you comfortable.....Twistys has never been one of my best sellers but I like Dean's work ;)

                                                                                                                            I'm surprised a program owner would come here and openly bash bodsforthemods the way he did. Bods is well known by program owners, and speaks with almost all of them directly. He does business with most on a personal level daily. He's one of the most business oriented website owners there are. Of course he has out done himself once again by quickly negotiating with twistys instead of just dropping the galleries.

                                                                                                                            I'd also like to point out shap's misrepresentation of the term "fusker" in this thread. Fusker is a term in the webmaster community to be a site which uses an automated script to rip and host a hotlinked gallery. The galleries you posted from bodsforthemods. Do not hotlink any images. You used the term "fusker" improperly to accuse websites which are indeed not "fusker" galleries.

Where as it may seem I simply hold a biased opinion (note me flying the bods site in my sig). I've worked with bods on countless projects and will continue to for some time. He's an upstanding webmaster with excellent business ethics. Which, after shap having talked with him this afternoon. I'm sure he can agree with.

I was gonna chime in on that but got beaten to it.

                                                                                                                                        I make a fair bit of change promoting sponsor content on real blogs, ones that have at least two text posts for every picture/sales post. When I use sponsor content on my actual blogs, I put one-to-three pictures in a discrete blog post, usually accompanied by some sort of text commentary. There's always a text link in that same post to the tour or the sponsor-hosted gallery, or both. I feel those adjacent text links satisfy my obligations to the producers of the content, no matter who else I'm promoting elsewhere on my blogs.

                                                                                                                                        The one thing I do that's contrary to a lot of sponsor rules is that the pictures I post are in a sort of "very large thumb" format, never exceeding 320 pixels in width and usually about 400-450 pixels tall. To make these, I have to crop and/or resize, and the crop usually defaces or removes the sponsor watermark. Fortunately, no sponsor has had a problem with that to date; when they contact me, it's usually some version of "we've never had anybody market our stuff like this, we're amazed at how well it works, can you promote us more, please?"

                                                                                                                                        If I did hear from a sponsor who was unhappy with my cropping-and-resizing, I'd drop them from further promotion and remove all their stuff from my archives. It's not that I don't understand the desire for watermark branding, it's just that they don't provide watermarked content in the dimensions I need. I've got a formula that works, all my big sponsors love my sales, and I'm not gonna mess with success for anybody.

I keep hearing that babeblogs themselves are not profitable. I can only speak for myself, and Bods is highly profitable and 95% of this profit somes from model affiliate programs. With that said you have a problem, no sweat - i will modify my galleries for you to make you comfortable.....Twistys has never been one of my best sellers but I like Dean's work ;)

Bods is well known by program owners, and speaks with almost all of them directly. He does business with most on a personal level daily. He's one of the most business oriented website owners there are. Of course he has out done himself once again by quickly negotiating with twistys instead of just dropping the galleries.

                                                                                                                                                            I'd also like to point out shap's misrepresentation of the term "fusker" in this thread. Fusker is a term in the webmaster community to be a site which uses an automated script to rip and host a hotlinked gallery. The galleries you posted from bodsforthemods. Do not hotlink any images. You used the term "fusker" improperly to accuse websites which are indeed not "fusker" galleries.
                                                                                                                                                            Top two definitions taken from urban dictionary:

                                                                                                                                                            And lastly. Where as it may seem I simply hold a biased opinion (note me flying the bods site in my sig). I've worked with bods on countless projects and will continue to for some time. He's an upstanding webmaster with excellent business ethics. Which, after shap having talked with him this afternoon. I'm sure he can agree with.
                                                                                                                                                            I second Potter's post. Bods is and has always been one of the finest webmasters out there with some of the best traffic. Aside from his amazing traffic, he is also a very reasonable guy and I am glad to see that he has decided to compromise with Twisty's to make things right.

                                                                                                                                                            I can see your points Shap, and that it isn't right for a webmaster to use a program's content to upsell others excessively. As you stated before, an amended TOS will definitly help to get rid of traffic that you do not desire.

                                                                                                                                                                                            http://www.bodsforthemods.com/galler...Playground-15/

                                                                                                                                                                                            There is no way that in any common sense that this page could be considered acceptable by the sponsor. The promotion for the site itself is very small, only 2 banners with limited text. However, there are 51 other links off that page. It isn't even logical.

                                                                                                                                                                                            What annoys me the most is every time "scammy" sites get exposed on the board, the same few sponsors appear on the page. It is really weird how this keeps on happening.

                                                                                                                                                                                            ADVICE TO PROGRAMS: In your free content policy, you should add this:
