oops...just read the title...sorry lol...

but to reply, yes we are making a few free sites with close affiliate partners...and hosting them for free also...

Raffi - can we see an example or two? I'd be interesting in using them if they look decent

Also, while I have you, can you guys put an actual email address in the "From" on your newsletters instead of "AdultLounge Team <>" It's kinda hard to tell the spam filter that your emails are OK if there's no email address on it

Hosted Free Sites are for Links Lists just as Hosted Galleries are for TGP owners. I'm sure that people also use both on hub pages & whatnot.

Free Sites and Galleries that sponsors put online for the webmaster to download & then upload to their own server is just a bad idea, because then they will start to submit those Free Sites & Galleries to Link Lists & TGP's & the reviewers for each will get very sick of seeing the sites & galleries over & over & over & next thing you know, the sponsor and/or submitter is banned.

That is an excellent point that sticks out like a breast at mardi gras... I have to rethink what I was saying previously.

Free Trial sites or Free Sites?

In regards to the "from" i will let Art know....although when you double click on the "AdultLounge Team" it has our e-mail address...you mean make it straight up e-mail address visible on the from?

You said "...yes we are making a few free sites with close affiliate partners..." - so if you're going to be making Hosted Free Sites for affiliates, I'd like to see them & possibly use them

I think most spam filters look for the email address that's listed in the "From" part of the email - yours is "AdultLounge Team <>" - there's no email address in there, so the spam filters have no idea who it's from & just throw it in the junk folder. Also makes it hard to reply to the email, since sending an email to the address "AdultLounge Team <>" give you a "503 No Recipient(s)" error

Why don't more sponsors make free sites?

If you're a sponsor, I would like a reply!

Hi, well I don't knoiw if this counts but we have a pretty good affiliate program as well as 12 tgp sites, if that's what you mean? We recognise that the folks we want to promote our sites are also the same folks successfully promoting loads of others too. So we give them priority to post to ours with partner accounts, if they want them.

I don't want to spam this board but feel free to ICQ my Marketing chap 'Bopper' on 330349571 if you'd like more information.

Cheers

I just let jaYMan & Joey know about this - they were working yesterday, because I was poking around over there. I'm sure they'll fix the problem

No, it doesn't count

Hosted Free Sites are for Link List owners as Hosted Galleries are for TGP owners.

Linkster wrote an awesome post on why sponsors should make Hosted Free Sites - you can read it here:

[DeniseAWC]

Oh, OK, well I'm still glad to let my affiliates have partner accounts but I guess I misunderstood the question. BTW - do you have an example of a link list?

If it's something that would add value to my affiliate program I'd like to see one so I can get with the program, if that makes sense?

Cheers

Edited - sorry, I just re-read your post again. OK, so I'm a bimbo!
