Please make sure you read thru this thread as well

I'm bumping this thread because it's obvious that many sponsors who are providing HFSs haven't read it yet. I signed up to an -anonymous- sponsor last night for the sole purpose of listing their free sites. I went to grab the HFS links this morning and a quick scan of their free sites made me say "fuck them" out loud. Some of the sites I checked were okay, but I'm not going to filter through a moutain of shit to find one piece of tasty corn.

Amongst the errors:
*No title on the pages. In the title bar, yes - but not on the page itself.
*Single word titles that are nothing more than a girl's name.
*Exit link to WarningPages.com. (There have been numberous complaints about WarningPages blocking the surfer's back button. Plus, if I'm not making money on the link - it shouldn't be there. Exit to Google to you greedy bastards. My greed outweighs yours.)
*Pages with horizontal scroll.
*Galleries opening in new window.

And don't get me started about the ones that refer to a braces-wearing teen as a "dirty |ittle gir|". That's a whole other topic.

UW - thanks - as I was just going through this thread yesterday after recommending it someone

Ive noticed a really bad trend developing with a few sponsors - in their haste to have lots of hosted free sites and provide them on a regular basis (which I think is really great) - they have turned the work of building these sites over to unsupervised outsourced labor. Then without even looking at the product they are posting the HFS's for their affiliate WMs to use.
I have one company that stands out in that they have used the exact same template for over 30 HFS's for each of their paysites - as well as providing content to the builders that has nothing to do with the paysite niche - how do you sell handjobs to a surfer by having two different models pose and rub their own pussy - it doesnt make any sense - especially when there is no text to lead the surfer to think they might even "possibly" see these same models on the site giving a handjob.
This is just a small example of how sponsors waste money on outsourcing and waste the affiliates time with junk

The worst part of all of this is that I informed this same sponsor three times through their affiliate manager that I would no longer list their HFS's unless they started taking an interest in their promo tools - but I got an email this morning with 10 more HFS's - same templates, same junk content and same non-selling shit
Guess I need some new sponsors
