Honestly, he actually does make a valid point. Limiting my blogs to a few pictures and one short video increased my conversions over offering every piece of promotional material available to me.
However, on the same token, deactivating affiliate accounts because it is a bit ridiculous. |

He does have a very exclusive niche and this is how he wants to do it, so stop complaining. There are plenty of other affiliate programs out there and if you still really want his, just follow his rules.
Would you edit photos, or advertise in ways that werent allowed of other affiliates (not sure what they allow or dont for my examples lol) if you knew it was against the rules and would suspend your account just because you think its a better way to get sales? NO you wouldn't... or at least you wouldnt complain if you got suspended after they told you to fix it twice and you didn't....
Just saying  |

Hi all, first off, I do thank you for your comments and also the support. It is very difficult making a policy change. Please remember this marketplace is very competitive and we are only altering our policy to maintain the future sales of our sites for ourselves as well as our affiliates.
We did send out a notice 30 days ago, and then a follow up about 10 days ago. Almost all of our affiliates were fine with this concept and support us. Actually, we only had just a few (literally) affiliates that never responded nor trimmed down the FHG volumes in their sites. We had no choice on our end but to temporarily suspend their accounts to motivate the affiliate to please follow our guidelines. It's not fair to the other affiliates who are following the guidelines.
By no means are we looking to cut off those affiliates from their future rebills. We only ask they please just delete some FHG's from their sites. Shouldn't take that long to pull a few thumbs. Or we suggest they can leave the thumbs, and simply place a url redirects in it's place pointing to the main site they are advertising. That way there are no "holes" in their site. This is just a suggestion. Then drop us an email showing the correction and your account will be reinstated as promised. No sales lost, business as normal.
We wish to say thank you for all our affiliates that did trim down on their FHG usage. We reviewed almost all of our affiliates sites and found most of them to be spot on great. Lots of tease photos, text descriptions, and very nice appearances. By using up to 4 FHG's, you'll always have some FHG's to rotate to after a few months or weeks, to keep your pages looking fresh. (as to simply posting 15 FHG's and displaying too much free content, thus, not inducing a sale.)
Of course we are your "bread and butter" sales. You're not going to "get rich" with us, but you will find thru the years a small nice steady little flow of sales that help out in the long run.
On a small other note, we notice that the Apple Twins are advertised 4 to 1 vs. the Jolie twins. Please note that lovers of twin sisters don't see "color." The twin sister fetish is very unique and those that enjoy the Apple Twins, will certainly enjoy the Jolie Twins. Almost 32% of our Apple Twins members join the Jolie Twins. That's a very high figure. Please consider adding some sexy Jolie Twin's FHG's to your twin sister line up. The Jolies are very underrated in our opinion. Very beautiful and highly erotic. We sell more Jolie sales in Europe then we do in the States. France, Germany, Italy, UK and a few in Japan on a weekly basis.
If you have Euro traffic, you'll enjoy our International mini tours. We've been getting about 10 to 12% of our sales from Europe. Not much, but it does add up. Just you making one extra affiliate sale a day from Europe is like getting an extra $ 350 a month in income. That'll pay for your cable, phone, gas, water and electricity.... with just one affiliate sale per day from Europe. Check out our International tours and stick up a few, you'll be surprised. USA is not the only place where porn sales are happening. With the decline of USA banks and the limiting of new credit lines, European markets are fresh new territories.
Thanks for your time reading. Looking forward to long term continued business.
Best,
Leslie
