good post and the info is good aswell...
as for the site i signed up with, thats a site that I sold a few months ago, sorry I didnt change it in the CCBILL area. As for unclejimsporn.com, I was instructed by the script people I could copy over the entire thumbs database and use it on another site. Today I added hotlink protection and just now realized those thumbs are linking to my other site.
You have valid reasons for not giving them out, myself along with others have valid reasons for wanting them. You can check with a handful of different sponsors to find out if I'm a fake or not, im not gonna rgue with you about that either way tho...
I can say this.. the day I emailed you, you didnt do any investigating. you flat out said no, and that was it. that was well over a week ago that I emailed you, hotlink protection was added today, so you trying to pretend like you caught me doing something, is unmerited.

Jimmie, Allie and I started out in this industry as affiliates back in 2000, long before we ever even considered opening a paysite. We have never promoted a site that we didn?t first join and we?ve never had a problem coughing up a few bucks to check out a potential sponsor. As already pointed out by someone in this thread you?re only paying 50% anyway. In addition to that it?s also a tax write-off.
Since we started in the business as affiliates we?re well aware of the issues important to affiliates. We ensure that our affiliates get first class customer service and have everything they need to successfully promote NaughtyAllie. When we started the site last May we were handing out passwords to ?webmasters? like candy. The majority of these ?webmasters? never sent a single click to the site. Based on sever stats it certainly wasn?t due to the fact that they didn?t like the site since they were burning more bandwidth than our actual members.
That being said, let me clarify our policy on giving webmasters access to our members area. This is done on a case-by-case basis after a fairly simple vetting process. I issue passwords to webmasters that, in my opinion, are serious about promoting the site and not just looking for "jerk-off material". As others have stated in this thread, they we?re given access to our members area. They were given access because after looking into their account they appeared to be legitimate webmasters.
When I received your request for a password I looked into your account to see that you had been an affiliate for 5 months and sent 1 sale to the site. In addition to that you registered using a domain redirecting to a search portal (www.sexualbikini.com ) unrelated to the adult industry and the domain you e-mailed from/registered with (not posting your personal info here) also went to a site unrelated to the adult industry. Additionally, the www address listed in your GFY profile (http://www.unclejimsporn.com/) is nothing more than a TGP template loaded with broken image links. If my evaluation of your potential as an affiliate was inaccurate you have to realize that the evaluation was based on the information you provided to me.
My personal opinion as someone who started in this business as an affiliate is that any serious webmaster would spend a few bucks to check out a potential sponsor and then write it off at the end of the year. That?s what we?ve always done and continue to do to this day.
