    Business Has a manager of an affiliate program told you to not promote a particular video or fetish?

    I am a bit speechless. Well I guess I am not speechless as I am typing this post.

    For the first time in my career as a webmaster/affiliate, a manager of an affiliate program told me to not promote particular scenes from their porn network (membership site). I have never met a manager, who does not want me to promote videos to their audience.

    My site specializes in cosplay porn. This company has filmed many cosplay videos. It would make sense for me to promote their porn videos. However, I was told I would harm compliance if I promoted those videos. That is an insane statement.

    How can an affiliate violate compliance by promoting your videos to consumers to buy them?

      Maybe it was a model's request? Some models don't wish to be seen on free sites.
      no sig, sorry

          They're getting rid of affiliates in an homeopathic manner . . .

                  We have. Girls so porn was one of them. We told it like it was. Understandable that they didn't want that in a review.

                      I do not have a free site. I post reviews of porn videos and networks. I am not offering anything for free. There are trailers and previews, and that is it.

                          Yes, they're models that don't wanna get promoted outside of the members area.
                          Also if they get married and have a family, they wanna get taken down from the site.
                          We've gotten requests from the family they get taken down if they pass away.

                              Might have to do with under what license they bought those videos. In some cases you can buy content rights that can only be used in the members areas and can not be used for any promotional purposes. This happens a lot with Japanese content for example.

                                      This studio own and filmed the video. They still own the rights as those videos are still available to customers on their site. It's strange.

                                          Honestly they may be making a business choice.

                                          If they internal promote model X and make killer conversions then having model X flooded all over every tube and free site does not help them.

                                              Ive seen instances of both in the past. I recall some solo girl sites offering user/passes to webmasters as long as they used content uploaded to the members area before a certain date. They didn't want all their most recent content all over everyones site, especially if you could do a search in google and easily find the older stuff.

                                              Also have seen programs asking their sites to be advertised correctly. An interracial gallery promoting a black babe site tends to lead to chargebacks if theres not a lot of what theyre looking for in the members area

                                                      But the OP says he was only using trailers (presumably made available by the sponsor to affiliates).

                                                      And why wouldn't the affiliate manager tell him the reason?

                                                          He's a review site that most likely has been given a pass.

                                                          The bottom line is the paysite has every right to set the terms they want and hats off to them if they told him the terms beforehand rather than telling him he can't do that afterward. I've heard webmasters tell people not to call their models whores or sluts and that is their rights.

                                                          If you don't like it don't promote it
