Promoting paysite with puchased content upsets sponsor?

bdld · 2005-08-04, 03:11 AM

it makes sense, especially if the site is a reality site with episodes of specific models. the only galleries created should be of those specific models.

I think there a few posters in this thread who haven't surfed a link list...

If free site and gallery builders were only allowed to use sponsor content to promote with, it would seriously limit the amount of submissions accepted each day. You know what would happen if every sponsor suddenly added that clause to their TOS? It would be more devastating than 2257. Sites built with sponsor content are accepted on a first come/ first serve basis, so you'd constantly see rejections for over used content. Wouldn't that be grand?

There are obvious exceptions. You can't promote single girl sites with purchased content - duh. But otherwise, if one can find buy content with the same theme as the site being promoted - have at it.

How many of you have even seen the gallery in question; the one which spawned this debate? I have - and let me tell you, it's a fucking shoe fetish gallery in which you hardly ever even saw the model's face, but lots of her high-heeled feet. And the sponsor was concerned that that was misrepresenting his/her site? FUBAR.

The thing that I generally find amazing is just how out of the loop most paysite / sponsors are with other avenues of the business.

Daily I see smaller paysites submitting the same gallery template day in and day out. How are these twit paysite owners that get blacklisted expected to help their affiliates out?

Purchased content is necessary if you want to get listed on tgp's and ll's...if a sponsor bitches about it...move to another sponsor as they obviously are clueless when it comes to TGP submitting and LL submitting.

My own opinion on this issue is that you have to discuss TGP galleries and link list style free sites separately as they are two different modes of advertising.

With TGPs over the years as tgp owners became more and more restrictive on the amount of advertising on each gallery the pics themselves by necessity had to become a key part of your marketing. In this case if it is a reality site or amateur girl site I can see the sponsor getting upset with bought content.

With link list style free sites you get usually two pages of advertising before the surfer even sees any pics. The free site webmaster's job is to design two pages of advertising so compelling that the surfer doesn't even see the pics. He is off to your sponsor. In fact using sponsor content on a free site is counter productive in that you can usually only promote one site. So as an advertiser with sponsor content if a surfer clicks to your sponsor on your index page and then returns to your free site you have nothing else to show him.

Or even the submission rules for a linklist, there's so many of them out there that say that sponsor content is not accepted due to being overused.
