site domain change = fucked affiliates?
Heads up. This strikes me as not quite so wise... why not a permanent redirect? Otherwise any affiliate who does not go out and find every instance of the old domain will lose sales, right?

Subject: ADP Models Affiliates - Important News
Greetings from ADP Models.com and the ADP Cash Affiliate Program -
As many of you already know, I have been planning to change the website name from ADP Models to True Amateur Models. The new name is currently on the website and the domain name is still http://www.adpmodels.com but only as of now. You can also get to the website by going to http://www.trueamateurmodels.com. However, this will not always remain the same because the http://www.adpmodels.com domain name will eventually not be active any longer. With that being said, I need all of you to please change the http://www.adpmodels.com domain (in the beginning part of the gallery URL) and replace it with the http://www.trueamateurmodels.com domain name. The rest of the URL will remain the same as well as your affiliate code. Making this change will NOT screw up your sales so please do not worry about that. You will still get paid the same percentage (and from CCBill) for any surfers that sign up to http://www.trueamateurmodels.com. Everything will still remain the same. In fact, the name change from ADP Models to True Amateur Models is only going to make your sales even better! One of the reasons why is because the name True Amateur Models is a very good domain name to have. It is a very descriptive name that tells the surfers exactly what type of content is on the website before they even get to see it. ADP Models could mean anything. It could be a website that features non-amateur "playboy" types of girls on it or any other types of models. True Amateur Models, informs surfers exactly as to what TYPES of models are on the website. Another positive benefit regarding the name change is that many people tend to get the name ADP Models mixed up with APD Models. There really is nothing confusing about the name True Amateur Models. Not to mention, people are always asking me...."what does ADP stand for"? This name change is the best thing that has ever happend (sic) to the website. No doubt about that. It will also be the best thing for you as an affiliate to the website.
And yet, another positive aspect of this name change is that the website (and the hosted galleries) have bigger pictures in them! I already know that this is going to bring in more conversions because surfers like to see BIG pictures. Back in the day, before I became a webmaster running my own website, the ONLY websites that I would sign up with were the ones that had the BIG pictures on them...and many other people feel the same way. After all, why would a surfer want to sign up with a website that has little to medium sized pictures? The new size that is currently on the True Amateur Models hosted galleries (most of them) are sized at almost 1600x1200 instead of the ADP Models galleries...which were sized at only 1024x768.
So, I ask all of you to please change the gallery URL's that you are currently promoting by replacing the http://www.adpmodels.com domain URL with the http://www.trueamateurmodels.com domain URL so that you do not have any dead links on your websites. Please make the changes as soon as you possibly can because I will be contacting my host soon to have them make the switch from ADP Models to True Amateur Models and I do not want any of you to be promoting dead links. The changes need to be made by March 31'st (at the latest) as that will be the time when I have the host switch the name on the server. I do apoligize (sic) for any inconvience (sic) but this is only going to be better for you as an affiliate. If you have already been turning over sales with the ADP Models hosted galleries then you will definately (sic) remain turning over sales with the True Amateur Models hosted galleries because the content, website, models and the hosted galleries are EXACTLY the same as before but have only gotten better. For the webmasters that create their own galleries, please change the ADP Models logo on your web pages to a True Amateur Models logo. And for everyone...please do not hesitate in contacting me if you have any questions.
