Kinkydollars trying to take your sites as well?

Might have been 7 figures with one.

You lucky devil :D

It's a game of chicken, he who blinks first, loses.

Will remember this, this was my first time.. I was a virgin

I received a letter from Kink today in my snail mail, but it only had a check in it

Why do I get the succinct feeling that the OP simply registered a derivative name of a product or products of theres, and in turn is simply ranking in Google for their brand and redirecting traffic there?

This is a practice that many programs in the future will outlaw / ban / or manage with a middle ground, dependent on the program.

At the end of the day, all these affiliates are doing is effectively leeching off the brand. They aren't really providing value to the sponsor. The only argument one could make is, if they rank there, at least piracy sites don't rank there - but well, Google is already trying to solve that problem.

In the eyes of a sponsor, this is becoming a real problem, and it isn't innocent on the affiliate part. Some affiliates target site brands before they are even launched so they can rank for the brand name before you even have begun your site, giving content away for free. This happens to literally every major sponsor today. So there is going to be lashback at some point, from some companies.

Would you make 10k a month from buying new domains similar to the affiliate and that's it?

For once, google is already down playing the importance of names, as you say.

For twice, domains names are in the niche, 75% of the big ones are in no way going to enter a name related dispute, while the small ones, I don't care, and also for some of the small ones they don't have the copyright registered.

3rdly, they saw the domains many times, including the last time when they launched a new site, some 2 3 months ago, and they told me to go for that too cause it is awesome, and after I bought a new domain and set up a new site and blog I have showed it to the, to the, everyone here?? To the support... Guess what, I am number one in google for a cute niche related search, ( beside others cute rankings ), nothing related to the name. I did that in 2 months because I have a name related to them? WTF...

I will just buy boundgangbbang.com and I am sure in 2 months I will be top of google for extreme naughty sex without doing anything. And hell yes, I would be there because of the name of the domain, right?

4thly and not lastly, I had chats before and had their active support, I can disclose one of the things they have done for me, I will keep the other proofs for me who knows what will happen in the future. I have an account to all their websites, free account created for 1 year, so I can grab content for what? Everyone here? For the sites I was showing to the support, nothing was hidden ever, I didn't use doors or mischievious masking. Or why did they give me full access to all their websites? For masturbating?... Oh yeah, you are a good webmaster, you earn us cash, here it is, a pass to all our sites to please yourself while you work for us.

Your feeling is absolutely wrong regarding me, I can't speak for everybody tho, not my bussiness.

They are doing it awfully wrong, awfully awfully wrong, and there is no argument they can offer beside they are greedy, and can enforce their position doesn't matter how fair it is, and doesn't matter that they broke their deal with me.

This is not about names, or copyrights, this is about a deal we had, a deal that people are not admitting anymore. I haven't appeared yesterday with my sites, they knew about them all the time, and they gave me advice what to do next, what's working better, and, as I said active support, like the content stuff, etc.

The rest, it will be soon just another story. I have more then enough arguments for what they did, but there is no problem. You loose some you earn some.

And at least, joking halfly, and pissed halfly, they should have had the decency to do this in January, not in the month of Xmas, when supposedly all people should be better ( or drunk in my case ), who also happens to be the month of my coming to this Earth filled of honest and hard working people that do not crave for the other people work and money.

Now instead of working normally and getting drunk double of normally I have to work double times to change things and stuff, cause I am not going to wait what the attorney can solve, who knows how long it will last.

Merry Xmas Kink!

I'm still here.

Besides the Kink owned sites, anyone know of other good bondage sites out there with high quality hd videos and lots of them?

Salut vulturas

And sent pm with websites.

For all interested for an alternative of kink, an alternative that has quality content, one is kinkstercash, I have already started pushing them after this cute story, and thinks look pretty rosy, Sexually broken conversions are doing really well. You can contact me if you need me to redirect you to their support.

Also, gammae and indiebucks cover the gay niches more then adequate, again, quality content.

Bump for rochard and all the hard working affiliates that kink has tried to shaft.

Even if a name is trademarked, you can still legally register domains with that name in them. Registering buykinkyproducthere.com is legal because you are using the therm kinkyproduct to refer to a specific product you are selling and you are not pretending to be the Kinkyproduct Company. I swear, if some of those half ass lawyers working in this industry were working for the Coca-Cola Company, no store would be allowed to disclose to their customers that they're selling Coca-Cola.

Not to carpet bag here, but take a look at wasteland.com
Been around since 1994 and pretty friendly and helpful to affiliates.

Cheers,
