To watermark free content or not to watermark? - GoFuckYourself.com

If you run an affiliate program and you don't watermark your content, it will certainly be used in ways you didn't intend.

If you DO watermark your content, you get some ad value even on the stolen pics... but you can possibly lose affiliates who don't want their surfers to visit their site and then type in your domain.

Which is better? Does it even out?

**In the case of a single-girl or microniche site with exclusive content I'd say ALWAYS mark the content. That's not what I'm discussing.

new program - you need to get affiliates so don't watermark
established programs - watermark
exclusive - you should always watermark

I haven't had a single person complain yet.. there are some forms of watermarking where it's a bit much though I think. Like 1/4 of the whole damn picture is a big logo.

Established programs don't need affiliates?

If you want to watermark, just use your logo instead of your url...
