Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - Jay’s Sponsor Content Solution (Controversial)

Hi Jay,
Just wanted to clarify to make sure I am understanding everything.
Okay, so basically if we want to use sponsor content at all, we just need to sign up under you. I am thinking though, that what RawAlex said is true, that if we are already signed up for those programs with one affiliate ID that most programs are not going to want us to either sign up for another account so that we have two active accounts, or combine an old account and new account so that they can start paying out a referral on an account they never have before.

So, it seems that this is basically something that is only going to work for new affiliates to the programs, and for you to get more submits from maybe some newer webmasters??? And for those of us who have been submitting for quite awhile in good standing, we are just kinda out of luck as far as sponsor content goes, and are at a disadvantage for using our own content, or specific niche content that is outside of the sponsors on that list?

I guess, as someone who has been building sites for awhile and does use sponsor content sometimes, depending on the niche and site, it does seem like being penalized for having already signed to the sponsors I have. I mean as a LL owner it makes perfect sense, but as a submitter it seems rather unfair.
