    Uncredited "Webmasters click here" links on free hosted galleries

      the only robbing in this biz is shaving

      in this case nothing truly wrong with it, you should promote the program judged on how well it does for you and not based on how they run their webmaster referral program

        fair compromise for the program designing and hosting the gallery?

        Sponsors use this hoping the surfer clicks it, then goes to the site list, & then joins a different site.

            I think the most plausible explanation for webmaster links being on a gallery is to gain some more affiliates.

              But galleries are directed to surfers, not webmasters.

                I have noticed this before too. Xpays and a few other credit webmasters in the "Webmasters Click here" links but most do not.

                I know a few webmasters have lost some good money for programs I've signed up for because of this.

                  When I'm hunting down (thumb) trades I'll often see new girls and check out the galleries to see if the sponsor is worth signing up for.

                    Some sponsors overdue it, both with far too large 2257 links and links to the webmaster programme.
                    If my referral code is not in the latter, I'll dump the sponsor.
                    If the 2257 link is too big, I'll dump him, too.

                    Sort of your own personal decision...

                        isn't it a widely known fact that FHGs are made to brand the site and not
                        to make you money ?

                                Yeah, this is a pretty cool idea, but you may run into probs with link hotten protection, or licensing agreements (a couple of sponsors have told me I can't copy and re-serve their FHGs since the content is not licensed to my domain)

                                  i asked first of course , most sponsor are fairly flexible as long as you explain what you intend to do

                                    Wouldn't it have been better for them to realise it's an issue with affiliates and change the FHGs accordingly?

                                      If the program has a wm ref program, then those links should be coded with the affiliate id.

                                      I have stopped putting webmaster links on hosted gals, if a wm really wants to see the program he will just follow the gallery links to the tour and will see it on the bottom of the tour.

                                        I'd like to see referral codes in the 2257 links too. You know they have to be a traffic leaks.
