Sponsors Fucking Affiliates Via FHG's

Why do sponsors redirect 404 traffic on FHG servers?
Is it worth losing you're biggest affiliates?

This might and probably is an honest mistake, but who can tell

http://galleries.ftvcash.com/gal/alexagalleries/67/

Click the bottom left picture.... WTF???????????


Rule #1 when accepting traffic from others...


DONT FUCK EM
And redirecting 404 traffic is fucking them....
Especially when its a TGP run by the sponsor, how can this be considered anything else other than fraud? If it went to the paysite tour
thats one thing, but they're TGP? thats just plain fucking wrong
and unexcusable......

I'd think it's a mistake, can't imagine the FTV guys would fuck over affiliates, but a plain real 404 page would be what affiliates can expect, so the surfer clicks back.

Neither a sponsor TGP nor the paysite itself are acceptable in my opinion when it comes to missing image links, for missing galleries they can send it to the paysite with my ID included.

There is NO reason to 404 to a TGP, but I guess you like supporting others on your dime

not the point, why on earth would you have a 404 redirect on affiliate traffic most likely from their TGP to YOUR TGP... Only one answer to that question

Their TGP should be nowhere near that server

obvious honest mistake - no matter how many times i proofread stuff I miss some things.

as for the 404 redirecting to a TGP - your point is valid on that but it's a pretty small thing to be worried about unless a program really is out to shave traffic from hosted galleries.

Most sponsors direct their 404 traffic from FHG's

might of believed that an hour ago, but the more research I do shows this is done on purpose.. I checked their other galleries and mistyped in picture urls
to my surprise they go to different TGP's, each of that specific niche....

now why would 2 program tgp pages redirect to different domains, wouldnt you not redirect a system wide redirect? only one reason leaves me to believe
their are filtering the incoming traffic to their niche tgp's

not a very nice way to seo by stealing affilaite traffic for TGP branding
