My post was because it's always laid at the sponsors doors. Without shitty affiliates sending traffic to shitty sites the shitty sites wouldn't exist. Quote:

If you wish to get technical though, I first quoted you more because of your comment about the lack of business education... that direction is what drew in my focus. Simply put, you promote 300 programs, almost all have no business education. Then you make it appear as if, you can judge a program by the way it advertises or markets, less truly about what they are doing, and more on an opinion that the 300ish programs you select to promote aren't shady because you don't see it. To answer your question... Those groups of statements you made are geared towards programs that almost always pay higher rates and you did say, "no promoting a program due to a temporary bonus." On that... I just don't want to see a person lose money simply because they avoid a temporary bonus. Now if you avoid it on programs you choose not to promote that's understandable - if you avoid them all together because of the opinions expressed in this thread - you're losing a shit ton of money. I'm not trying to give you advice - I'm simply telling you the way I see it. |

If mass amounts of Affiliates, overall drive a base of the Industry - then it's safe to assume a fair percentage of them are scum and would promote scum too, driving that base of the Industry as well. Question comes then... Would a bigger industry or a smaller industry benefit the overall Industry more? We can see which one is better for our back pockets. Hypothetically, if we removed free porn/piracy, assume the Industry rebounded. It's almost a sure thing that we would see another huge spike in super fraud programs/people. So maybe a smaller, tougher, harder to make it Industry is overall better for the Industry... less attraction for the scum, thus they move off to easier targets, like apps. |

If the answer is yes, do affiliates sending them traffic know or care? Quote:

Putting all porn into members areas would help. Would a smaller tougher industry of been better? Not if it was run the same way as this one has been run. |
I would think a lot of sponsor don't care and allow it.
The rest of the sponsors probably don't check their stats, so they don't even know. And the 0,01% that do care about ethical values are probably going broke this year. |

It is impossible because the majority of those in the business don't really know anything about business and are generally unstructured (and often desperate) lone wolfs to begin with. Porn often attracts a certain breed and that type of person is usually not capable of self regulation, be it in their personal life or with business. Too many wanting a fast buck. Hence so many people who should have money, are dead broke. I don't think being too large is an issue. Even human trafficking is self regulated to some degree. There are things you do to ensure the survival of your industry, and we simply don't do that. It seems we always do the opposite of what is needed to ensure the longevity of the industry. Too many get rich quick and short term types here. The anonymity of the industry is the other issue. Anyone can do anything and no one knows who they are. Humans do all sorts of bad shit when they no one knows they do it. We both know many here would sell beast or CP if they knew they could get away with it. Quote:

.xxx will not exist.

other industries - especially online - are much worse. it is amazingly self-regulating.
the movement towards free has nothing to do with porn or regulation and everything to do with the nature of the internet itself. selling shit on the internet will always be like herding cats, that's just how it is and always will be. Quote:

funny how you guys are calling me out. He basically said, if you want your stuff removed by adds. I did the math. It was worth it. So in essence I'm being extorted. But, I'd rather have one less place to worry about at a fee than the resources it would take to police it.
Sometimes the best way is to play nice with the people who are stabbing you. Don't hate me for that. ds |
lol duke you are profitting from other ... if there will be only your stuff, you will have no sales from there ... oh man ...

On a side note, if affiliates did much of anything these days hardly any of this would be happening. But this whole piracy thing caught everyone with their pants around their ankles. Instead of bitching about it, I went about it like a business man. Would I prefer that these turn of events never happened in this industry? Hell yea. Is my business much more important to me than yours? Hell yea. That is just how this industry works, and all the talk of us making rules to abide by wont work when you have people ripping off your stuff who aren't even in the industry. So you may say I have sold out. No. I bought in. duke |

You're processing his joins and now blaming affiliates for it? Based on past experiences I'll be surprised if you have an affiliate program (that you haven't sold) at the end of 2011. I guess we'll see. Anyway one of my previous posts said all that I have to say. Good luck with your "business". |

It's basic math. The number isn't even 33%. Add it up yourself. |

affiliate sales started dropping off around 2 years ago. That's when we just looked beyond the horizon and looked, seriously looked at the industry and how it changed. Don't get mad at me that I am one of the few companies that got the memo. ds |

I always wanted to ask someone who makes statements such as yours, what's the purpose of the affiliate banner or the advertising if you don't need affiliates? Explain that one to me please. It doesn't make sense. Is it an ego thing? Okay, well I have to get other stuff done. It's nothing personal. Take care. |

you dont need much legit affiliates if you have few hand picked warez sources with high traffic :) i dont understand this thread so much but my problem i need to learn how to live with it :)

ego? common. I'm not a chest puffer. But funny you mention the banner. We had someone make our most recent one and they didnt put a link in it the flash. So that went 3 months unlinked. Yea, I know. Dumb mistake. The best banner we had was the duke of new york banner. That worked great. It pissed some of the sheep off though. So I pulled it. It was a bad mistake pulling that banner. That's when I realized that gfy popular opinion means jack shit. So I do what I do. I'm not here to make pals. At this stage of the game it's all B to B anyway, and they are much less judgemental.

This guy opened a thread and reported that DukeSkywalker pays this illegal forum "Extreme Board" to post his banner from FacialAbuse (DukeDollars), am I right?
The problem is that you ban the thread CREATOR? What is going on here? This is extremely unfair. Why did you ban this guy for telling the truth? No sense! I will make sure to post on my network of sites that this DukeSkywalker is a motherfucker who sponsors Illegal places and I will recommend everyone to stop promoting his program, I will give further details, I won't post here, because it's dangerous to talk against this sucker DukeSkywalker, supporter of forums with stolen content, pirate and ilegallity. I hope someone makes something about it and this guy DukeGaySkywalker gets punished. |
