    There's probably another risk as well which no one seems to ever consider. At least in the U.S. (which I don't believe applies to Alphasky) there might be a point where an Independent Contractor might possibly become an employee in the eyes of the IRS when enough micromanagement is occurring.

    http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/...179111,00.html

    Recommendations: Just because someone is labeled as an independent contractor does not mean that the courts will agree with the classification. If a contractee-independent contractor relationship is to be established, it is important implement the following recommendations:

    <...>

    do not reserve the right to control the work to be done or the manner in which it is to be performed;
    do not micro-manage the way the independent contractor is to perform the required duties;

    avoid any day-to-day or direct supervision over the independent contractor;

    <...>

    I doubt this would be enough but I think it's possible that it is starting to push things. Just something for US sponsors to consider.

      A lot of surfers post gallery urls on those forums, something the affiliate does not control.

        probably more stuff on radpishare forums than affiliate galleries because of their stupid "rules"

        they need to hire an affiliate manager whos worked with adult sites before. preferably whos been an affiliate too tbh.

          Exactly... Im being a child... why not!? Ive had enough of the bullshit twitter account that divvy wants to impersonate me.

          Until he finished the stupidness, Im going to quote that his fims & content are shit, as they are, the clicking of the camera zoom & the wobbly hand job. I shall ask if he cheats his affiliates out of 7.5% payment, by paying ccbill before paying affiliates & I shall also say that we update this website every week, followed by asking divvy if he does.

          If the idiot can get away with it sober, fuck it.... i can do the same with a few beers down my throat

                  These sites fit perfect into my traffic. I bet I could sell the shit out of these girls but removed them long ago. Don't promote things from glue sniffing webbies.

                      As for the real issue at hand in this thread, I think what's grating on affiliates is rather than send an email out to the specific webmasters on a case by case basis it was blasted out to the entire program list. In effect, whether intentional or not, your chastising every webmaster who's taken the time to register for your program for something the majority have not done.

                      If the issue is you don't want affiliates spamming message boards with unwelcome content it shouldn't be difficult to locate which affiliates are spamming the message boards and contact them directly. If the issue is you don't want your promotional content posted on websites that are high volume and low conversion, if it's promotional content you are making available through your program and you're affiliates aren't posting it where it's unwanted or unlawful, it does seem like a hollow complaint. While I know TGP directories and the like don't convert like they used to, it does seem a bit odd that you wouldn't want your promotional content added, if thats what you're trying to say.

                      Regardless of the point you're trying to make, it's still best addressed individually with the webmasters who's activity you are unhappy with, rather than your entire program on the whole. The email does read like you are unhappy with the specific performance of the recipient, that they have somehow engaged in practices you find to be unsavory, when in fact it's most likely not the case. It's your program to run as you wish, just trying to drop my 2 cents on how others might see it and why your affiliates feel like they are being micromanaged.
                      well put

                        I didn't see it as an accusation relating to cheating or anything else other than the equivalent of saying they live in a dream world.

                          Alpha Sky, it is mostly surfers who are posting affiliate links on peachy forum. They like to find every single gallery of a particular model and add it to the model's thread.

                          If you are really unhappy about the threads of your models on peachy forum you can probably report it to the moderator. I've had the moderator take down posts in my thread by just using the report post message. I was reporting posts of members area content, but you could still try.

                          I know Ariel Rebel wasn't happy with Peachy Forum for some reason and they took her thread down. Anyway it is better to deal with them directly than your affiliates.

                              I know.

                              I just didn't see it as an actual accusation.

                              (Trying to think of something humorous to say about you now that isn't an actual accusation but I can't.

                                    What adult webmaster dedicates half his day to twittering on bollocks, searching & snooping around my websites, profiles, business & private life. What webmaster quotes comments in his sig & then places links to fake accounts.


                                    Dont come at me with the "post the proof" lines when it is you that has said on many occasions bullshit with no proof about me, you mental case... youre an idiot

                                      gary i have it in my sig as i find it amuzing.

                                      if i put google.com in my sig, will you belive i run and own google?

                                      you realy are a right twit.

                                      and all i have ever stated about you was that you pimp your wife who is a prostetute for £50 for unsafe sex with stragers. These are ALL things you have stated on this forum. Thus I have posted only what you have stated yourself. Also I said you had rape on your site, again thats true. Also I said that I did not belive that the two model sites that you said you run that make the models £500 a year still exsist - so far you have not been able to post the links to them.

                                      So what Gary have I said thats not true.

                                      I did say you hyjacked this thread to post abuse about others. I also stated that you have no right to post in this thread as it has nothing to do with you and its just your way to post your spam. Again true.

                                      I have never ever said anything un-true about you.

                                      I hope that clears things up.

                                      But to be honest I suspect you only posted to turn this thread into it being about you.

                                      Do not post again in it.

                                      If you wish to comment please start a new (your own) thread, where I will be happy to answer your questions.

                                      I will post links to any evidence you wish.

                                      Thank you.

                                      PS

                                      Again I have that twitter in my sig as I find it witty. You do also know I have the www.arsewithclass.co.uk in my sig which i a\lso do not own. but i find it realy rather wittty to read.

                                          Just a quick note... We didn't "Close down" our program and burn affiliates like so many site owners do. We don't skim sales and rip people off like so many program owners do.

                                          We have solid 3rd party billing and all our affiliates ALWAYS get paid on time. That is really what this is all about, getting paid.

                                          Come on, how many sites have stolen people's money & shut down over night. We are just trying to survive. Sure we are not perfect but we are working hard to keep sales in our affiliates pockets every year, not just this month.

                                          How many sites go bottom up the first 6 month to 1 year? Like 95% of them?

                                          We are still here, making money for our affiliates. Please don't condem us because of our over promoting rules. It's hard to enforce small rules. We sent emails out to our affiliates, but only a FEW were over posting. That's all. Not a huge ordeal.

                                          So when we get ignored, we simply suspend a few accounts to "shake things up" and get them to make the needed corrections. It's not fair to our affiliates that are promoting correctly that some affiliates can ignore the rules and damage other affiliates future sales.

                                          In regards to public board posting of affiiate links, ie: peachyforum, et al, we are working as well to have them remove the posts. We are not suspending accounts simply because they are in peachy forum. However, we do ask that the affiliate to alter the url with a re direct if the link can not be removed. It's a small bit of effort to ensure long term sales of some very hot content, which all of our affiliates benefit from by selling.

                                          Thank you for reading and understanding our side of the situation.

                                          I know many site owners understand the problems of over promotion. Our affiliates will make more sales in the long run by not over promoting... and that's what it's all about. Making some $$$ to pay the bills.

                                            This is what we are trying to stop for all our sakes. So our affiliates and ourselves can continue making sales.

                                            We love and need our affiliates and must protect them from this type of over promotion.

                                            Even the most reasonable person can see how damaging this is for sales.

                                            There must be some type of control.

                                                Fair play, or its not the vodka killing thy brain cells. The tit for tat bollocks gets boring.

                                                          at least this stops the pretend incest peddler's 14 page car crash thread from being on the front page for a while, and that is A Good Thing.
