50 sales, and you can get your own sponsor.com/affiliate link to watermark content, spread that content how you want. Thinking out loud  |
I do that with YouPorn, XHamster, etc but this would not work for all affiliates, especially non-tube affs. Also, I've found that even tho there's a watermark that says
www.website.com/XHamster the surfer will not type-in the extension (the /XHamster part). But it does help a little for affiliates, yes.
And I would offer affs who send consistent sales their own watermarks and help set them up with domains, too. But no one has asked. LOL
But again, ALL this is fighting over 1% and, as I stated, there's simply no way to track type-ins period.
And NOT having watermarks? Idiotic. Why not just hand the keys over to the pirates without a fight then? Finally, with the major tubes, they're using MY content to sell cams, dating, even their own HD upgrades and paysites so if I can get some type-in/branding/exposure from them then at least I, the provider of the content, can get something back. And I would say that I, the Sponser, have more to bitch about - WAY more than 1% - with what I go through with major affiliates then affiliates should do regarding type-ins.
