check out some of these mainstream affiliate program restrictions
 

check out some restrictons in mainstream programs, i know for a fact that *some* webmasters would have wished they had a few of these in place. but its interesting that i would never guess i would see adult programs with some of the same rules. Found the below criteria when i was submitting to a mainstream directory.


Are there any PPC keyword Restrictions? Yes No

Keyword Restrictions : No Trademarked/Restricted terms as Searched
Keywords (keywords that trigger an ad)

No Trademarked/Restricted terms In the ad-copy (anywhere in the ad title or description)

No Trademarked/Restricted terms in display URL as subdomain (eg: trademarks.yourwebsite.com)

No Trademarked/Restricted terms anywhere in the display URL (eg: yourwebsite.com/trademarks/)

May not bid higher than us (out compete)

May not link directly to us

No Trademarked/Restricted terms in the Page Title

aka i was referring to those webmasters who, lets say, get a google ranking above what the natural listing would be or buy type in domains

right now most will take any traffic they are dying

absolutely, desperate times
