You guys just don't apply.

For example Shap, what he's complaining about is if you took all the Euro Foxes and Busty Ones content and threw on a Twistys.com watermark. Clearly he would lose sales to type-ins on that.

Some bigger programs even make it worse, by making their "portal" site not available for promotion by affiliates. BangBros.com for example isn't on the list of available linkcodes, yet all bangbros content for ALL sites has the BangBros.com watermark.

That means that even when people type "Bang Bros" into Google, it won't go to an affiliate. That's the double edged sword that this is.

I just reviewed the HomeMadeCash sites from NS Cash, and they all have their main "Homevideo Pass" or whatever the site was called watermark.

I've even seen programs going back and RE-WATERMARKING all their content for this very purpose.

It's clearly designed to screw the affiliates. There's no question about it.

I also noticed a program (Bling Bucks) has an exit console on my affiliate links that goes to ULust.. Obviously I won't get credit for those sales.. That's underhanded too if you ask me. Exit consoles on affiliate traffic should stay within your network.


This same discussion went on with pimproll because they had new sites that had content watermarked for some other site (different program as well actaully).. They listened to the affiliates and are rewatermarking for the proper sites.
