Hello Everyone, let me explain what this is all about.
We are extremely thankful for our affiliates and more than happy to buy each and everyone of you breakfast if you are ever in the L.A. area
However, there are some affiliates who are hurting our brand.
As llporter mentioned, there are many sites that are abusing (or can abuse) a brand. You can find many examples of sites that use our images to promote other sites and that use our trademarks in the domain to link to other sites. This may earn the affiliate money in the short term, but in the long term it hurts MetArt, and that will eventually hurt the affiliate, too.
I know we are all here trying to make money and we want to make sure our affiliates are happy promoting MetArt. We are not trying to take someone's income from them, but we do need some restrictions in place to protect what we have built. As long as the domain operator abides by our terms and conditions we will allow them to continue to operate the site as long as the domain is in our control. This will give us the assurance that out intellectual property will not be abused while allowing the site operator to continue promoting MetArt and keeping his income in place.
We are putting a lot of resources into development, communications, and improvements. We are working hard to give the users a high quality product and to help our affiliates make more money. Our terms and conditions are designed to protect and defend the MetArt brand. The stronger our brand, the more money our affiliates stand to make. It really is that simple.
Please contact me directly if I can further clarify, or if you have additional questions.
Best regards,
