AFF requiring a new agreement this morming - GoFuckYourself.com

Worldnet · 12-15-2007, 06:20 AM

Just went to look at AFF stats. They require a new agreement to get in there this morning. Anyone know whats up?

Dirty F · 12-15-2007, 06:35 AM

Wild guess: Maybe, just maybe it has something to do with the new owners?

Sign the agreement and don't read it. Then install their special xxx toolbar

ravo · 12-15-2007, 06:50 AM

Perhaps it has something to do with the FTC settlement...

Antonio · 12-15-2007, 06:57 AM

read it, it has a pdf attachment, read that one too

what's really fucked up is that they can't be promoted with sexually explicit material, the rest I have no problem with whatsoever - like spam, malware, fuckware etc being against the TOS

That is better than not being paid at all. They still owe me money from early this year

Clean_Franck · 12-15-2007, 10:23 AM

I just scanned through it - as far as I can see its Sexually Explicit Advertising Material you cant use.

i thought you meant you cant advertise on adult sites.

K-Rock · 12-15-2007, 10:32 AM

Nervermind. Just found it

K-Rock · 12-15-2007, 10:33 AM

Sounds to me like its just your basic antispam warning to keep the Feds happy.. with all the FTC trouble they had

There are so many options out there, and now that they don't have the $199 payout or whatever, and being penalized for their actions, how do they look now? A lot of short sighted decisions, will hurt the webmasters most of all.

Penthouse Tony · 12-15-2007, 11:53 AM

Let me clear up some confusion. The FTC settlement prohibits affiliates from promoting us using both an unsolicited, sexually explicit ad.

In order to be in violation of this order, an affiliate would have to do two things at once:
1. They would have to create a sexually explicit ad for one of our sites. Non-sexually-explicit ads that
appear on pages with sexually explicit content do not qualify as sexually explicit ads.

2. They would then have to display that ad in an unsolicited manner. Practically speaking, this would occur
either via a popup that originated on a non-sexually-explicit site, or via a link to the sexually explicit ad where
the user would have no expectation that sexually explicit content lay on the other side.

It is important to note that if you only promote us using our own landing pages and banners you are inherently compliant since we have ensured that all promo material is non-sexually explicit. You can also create your own ads or landing pages and be 100% certain that they comply if the are non-sexually explicit.

As I mentioned above a compliant ad on a sexually explicit site (say a hardcore TGP) is not a violation of the agreement and therefore our TOU.

A hardcore TGP with explicit ads for AFF/Cams is also not in violation if the user doesn't arrive on the site in an unsolicited manner. For instance a pop to the TGP with explicit ads for AFF that manifests while checking stock prices would be unsolicited. TGPs that have over 18-confirmation bridge pages and/or receive traffic only from other adult sites do not meet the unsolicited requirement and therefore can have explicit ads.

I hope this clears up confusion. Anyone with further questions can feel free to contact me.

fris · 12-15-2007, 12:23 PM

does this mean aff can still be promoted on warez/torrent/cp/ and any other illegal site?
