OMG ROFL just received terms of service email - GoFuckYourself.com

Fat Panda · 06-08-2013, 06:09 AM

Holy shit, wtf, OMG and rofl.

I just received an email from a sponsor (which right now I won't name here) stating it is AGAINST their Terms of Service to rel="nofollow" affiliate links.

They're demanding ALL links must be dofollow within 5 days or I'm kicked out of their program.

Wtf, did anyone else receive this?

This industry is getting fucking ridiculous!

EddyTheDog · 06-08-2013, 06:18 AM

No, which program?

EddyTheDog · 06-08-2013, 06:27 AM

There is some rep somewhere thinking 'This job would be great if it wasn't for the affiliates - I know I will make up some BS'....

Dude, name the program. If they emailed you, do you think they're trying to keep it secret? They want affiliates to know.

dehash · 06-08-2013, 06:35 AM

Soon they will demand links with only specific keyword "porn" or "free porn"

Fat Panda · 06-08-2013, 06:35 AM

i responded to their request and i wanna see how this plays out before i drag this public. but i basically told them to get fucked

bluebook18 · 06-08-2013, 06:53 AM

name the program

freecartoonporn · 06-08-2013, 08:49 AM

i would use special linkbuilding software on their site for free.
it will surely help them to gain some linkjuice.

signupdamnit · 06-08-2013, 09:48 AM

Tell them they can pay a flat monthly fee to make it dofollow. Every affiliate ought to be making sure to make all sponsor links nofollow. Not only for Google but so that you aren't giving the sponsors something for free.

Marquis85 · 06-08-2013, 09:52 AM

This. I've actually done this before when I was a rep either by increasing their payout % or a flat fee.

I would drop their links and start promoting their main competitor right away.

dropping in to ask rookie question. why would an affiliate want to set pages to nofollow on search engines? if you put up a blog or FHG with your link code, wouldnt getting the content onto google rankings be a good thing?

thanks in advance. i just want to better understand the needs of affiliates...

Not if the program uses cookies, so the affiliate ID drops from the site URLs, such as the majority of CCBill programs.

Nor programs that make liberal use of canonical links and/or robots files to prevent indexing of site pages containing affiliate IDs, such as PimpRoll.

In such cases, I always encourage using nofollow rel attributes with the site links, since you really have nothing to gain otherwise. However, in most cases this is limited to just the sites and usually not the galleries - though a couple of programs make use of this indexing chicanery on their galleries as well. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the program to which the OP is referring is one of the latter.

bean-aid · 06-08-2013, 08:31 PM

^^^ it is nofollow on outgoing pages

So who is it? Nobody yet has said they received same email.

I think you mix noindex with nofollow.Sites with nofollow links will rank but dont pass seojuice/linkjuice to the outgoing links (eg wikipedia)
Noindex,you can add in your robots.txt and block search engines to index a site/directory/page

hello. thank you for taking the time to answer. appreciated. -Josh

Barry-xlovecam · 06-09-2013, 07:02 AM

It's 2013 not 2004 !!!

Affiliate links are not of much SEO value to a Sponsor's domain today.

We wouldn't even consider a link indexing demand.

"He has 10,000 "Salesmen" out there -- raise his SERP rank!

It's highly unlikely in 2013 that an affiliate will get a linkcode indexed at the top of the Google results. It can still happen but it's very rare. What is much more likely is that the affiliate will get penalized by Google Panda or Penguin for having many dofollow sponsor links. It's possible the sponsor could get penalized for it too. I know of the opposite case outside of the industry where a sponsor was demanding that affiliates make the links nofollow because they were afraid of penalties.

signupdamnit · 06-09-2013, 07:17 AM

If you want to get sneaky on them without telling them to go fuck themselves you might also start using jumpscripts which are in a special directory. Then put that directory in robots.txt. It has almost the same effect. The Googlebot won't visit the jumpscript and will never see the sponsors link. All it will see is a link to a internal page on your site which it cannot index due to robots.txt restrictions.

Technically the link would still be dofollow.

TheSquealer · 06-09-2013, 02:05 PM

It seems pretty clear to me that if someone is this fucking stupid, you shouldn't be financing their business with your traffic and joins and be expecting to get paid anyway.

nofollow prevents SEO juice from leaking to affiliate program URL

while you want to rank your own website, you don't give a shit about sponsor websites

so you use nofollow on sponsor links

I don't see what the problem is doing this as an affiliate.

Actually you should do it, right, because it is paid links?

No one is raking in anything on Bing.

There's virtually no traffic there. Especially for some obscure term as Naughty Ally.

I didn't do anything cause we don't do anything different with her name than we do with others. Like I said already on Xbiz, and which you leave out nicely here. We don't do anything wrong and we certainly do not do is on purpose so go complain to bing

I'm sure Jake prefers the top 10 to have all tube sites raking in on that term instead huh

Correct, with all due respect to Ally we indeed don't see anything from this. Hence the reason we are not doing this on purpose, specially not in Bing for god sake.
