Am I right to be pissed?
I rec'd an email this morning from a sponsor (independent CCBill solo girl site) with links to zips of new promo content, images, thumbs & gallery template, obviously for TGP submission. After downloading a few I opened them to check out the photo sets to find that the large images are under 600 pixels on the long side. So, I send the sponsor an email...

my next move would be to delete the emails and move on

It depends.
If it wasn't a sponsor I really cared to promote, I'd do as Tommy said. If it was something that was converting really well for me, I'd just open the images in photoshop and make them bigger. |
seems more and more single model sites are getting more agressive in pushing there programs... probably all those cam girls who have ruined yahoo chat and others with all there BS is stepping into there own site and affiliate program... blood and money suckers who cant respect the way things should be handled..

no self respecting cam girl would be caught dead in yahoo chat!! Toby: Selena is quite right..if it is someone who is converting well for you, i'd check my sales for the last 6-12 months with them and send a reply that says.. in the last xxx months i've sent you xxx $ in sales (or number) but I cannot continue to send you traffic if you can't send me content to use. etc etc.. MOST solo site girls are pretty willing to accommodate their affiliates that have sent sales in the past. of course there are a few who are really run by WM posing as single site girls that thing THEY are all that. Good luck.. |roses| |
The sponsor had converted OK for me at times, but not great lately. Prior promo content, although very limited, were standard hi-res images. This is a well established site and sponsor program, not some new babe without a clue.
I'm not going to bother with a reply, nothing to gain at this point. I've pulled all of the links from my sites, lots of other sponsors out there to promote. I've just never had a sponsor that obviously didn't care if I sent traffic or not. |
At least she sent a smilie. LOL... Actually, that is probably pretty rude, but you did say it was a small site and if the webgirl answered you herself, she may have just finished answering 10 rude fanmails, and you didn't come right out and ask directly if she could supply you with larger images. She may have taken it more as a criticism than a request.
Just another way of looking at it...people do say I am WAY to forgiving, so I wouldn't be surprised or blame you if you moved on... |huh |
I got the email from that redheaded pantyhose model too. I did the same thing. Downloaded a few, unzipped, and deleted. Then I deleted the email. I brushed it off as just another amateur with a great body and zero knowledge of adult marketing. But reading her reply to you pisses me off. "i cant please every one....tried that once didnt work" What the fuck is that? So, I guess she's not going to bother to please anyone now, eh. Fuck her.

Docholly, my experience with solo girl sites has been as you mentioned. Most have gone out of their way to get me anything I needed. Some have even given me a pass to their sites so I can select my own promo content from their member area galleries.
Audrey, as solo girl sites go, this one is quite large and has been around a long time. I was dealing with her husband, who manages the site and sent out the initial email this morning. I suppose he could just be having a bad day, which is why I haven't named the site. UW, |thumb |
LOL...I told you I was too forgiving! Actually I was typing up my response still when you posted more information about the situation. I totally agree that the response sucked, I just also had a twinge of sympathy as a solo girl because I know it really is impossible to please everyone. Just feels like everyone wants a piece of you some days...still no excuse to be rude to the people who are supporting and promoting you.

This thread is an example of someone aggressively pushing their program? Solo amateur sites have been around forever - they are not the "blood & money suckers" that you refer to - a vast majority of the new "solo girl" sites that have come out in the last few years are run by big programs & are NOT amateur sites. ***** Back to the thread at hand, their reply sound like the one we got from AVN about Vegas :D |
If I was the sponsor, I would have emailed back a url where you could download 600+ wide versions of the same set...or at least explain why I prefer not to distribute higher rez pics to my affiliates. "tried that once didn't work" -- frankly, that one of the most unprofessional responses from a sponsor I ever heard.

Most of the TGP sites that bother with the "minimum 600 pixels" rule also have a "no sponsor's content" rule, so I don't see how it matters.
|
Simple, tell them to fuck off. Well not actually tell them but simply promote someone else. What kind of response is that? Screw them!
And I am serious. |

I bet the reason that they don't send out bigger pics is that too many webmasters complained when they were putting up decent sized pics, because they had to compress/resize them...and to those webmasters, I say "Go find another 2nd job!" Resizing pics is part of making sites & this is what happens when you listen to lazy webmasters. |

I run into the same TGP rules also with "reality" sites with exclusive content. |
