The only link doesn't have the affiliate code in the review site is the "Webmasters Click Here" link at the bottom of the page. The "webmasters click here" link never have the affiliate code in all the hosted promo tools.

do the people who are angry about the blog still promote condom cash? do you link to the blog?

---

I never started promoting condomcash because of the blog bug. I'm not interessed in promoting a sponsor that can't fix a big bug in six months and never send a mail talking about his blog bug to affiliates, that's a fairness problem...

So then why don't you stop running your mouth and go make some money promoting someone else? Good lord, do you not have better things to do? Go take a walk, rent a DVD, watch an episode of Little Britain (it's full of really stupid characters and they're extremely funny) eat a Ding Dong, have sex with your partner or go and find someone else ... I mean there's a whole life out there just waiting to be lived and Lee and his program are just one tiny speck in that vast universe.

Oh geezuz, Mary mother and Joseph, help us through the insanity.

i might have put it a little differently than Dzinerbear, but if you're not even promoting the program, why are you so worried about this issue? i mean, okay - you mention it once 'cause you think people should know. okay, no problem.

but of all the sponsors out there, and all the issues so many have, if you're not promoting condomcash using the hosted blog, why are you this upset about this one?

Does make you wonder, doesnt it.

Someone a little more paranoid might draw the conclusion that he's a shill for another program.

I threw my back out a week ago, had a bit of a relapse today, and I woke up cranky from a nap. I needed to vent. :)

Ok, here goes what I have to say. First off, I am just getting back in the biz after taking a year or so off to play poker professionly. So, I do not market condomcash, but I plan on doing so. Some may know me and respect what I have to say, while others may think I am just an idiot. It's up to you to decide.

1. The blog issue is iffy. Lee, I can look at what you wat to do if you would like. i have become a php guru. While on the Poker tour I learned php. BTW, I have a degeree in CS/MATH.

2. You can't really say you are the first hosted gallery. Deviant Cash did something similar two years ago. The difference was they created a hosted link list with all their sites. But they did in depth reviews. And affiliates could send traffic and get sales. Also, there are some review sites where you can give your code and have it stored in a database and get credit for the sales when you link to the review site. This is a hosted site.

3. Being objective is good, but you can take it too far. This is from Office Men - Amount of content: 5/10
Quality of content: 6/10
Navigation: 4/10
Price vs. content: 3/10
I mean, when you see 3/10, I wont even read the review. Any site you have listed with quality of content 5/10 or below, why bother even reading? The best review sites use a star system. 1-5 stars and usually stars broken into 1/4ths. I mean a 2 3/4 star looks better than a 4/10 and is still objective.

4. The site is not "sticky" enough. The best review sites show at a minimum screenshots from the members areas. Rather they open in a new window or are just large icons in the review it adds credibility that you actually went in and looked at the site. Members area screenshots sell. Many times when a sponsor did not have a banner I like I grabbed a screen shot.

Also, since you have hosted galleries, why not offer links to them below the visit site link? Or if you feel you dont want another click of the surfer (taking them one more step away from visiting the site), why not garb three images (200 by 300) and put them at the bottom and say something like "Three cool pics from the members area I like)

I say this because you may get a visitor that for whatever reason doesnt want to spend the time to join. (On way to club, dinner, bar etc) but may want to bookmark. If he sees one site with some VISUAL appeal (member area snaps, links to hosted galleries, or sample icons) he may be intended to bookmark.

5. The FONT. I believe BassChick mentioned does font matter. On such a text heavy site why not use a serif font (tahoma?)

These are just my opinions. I will be signing upto Condomcash as there are tow sites I can make some sales on for sure. I will be marketing the review site AND the blog (even with the flaws).

And to all those who gave Lee flack about the blog. I am using the blog as filter traffic. Traffic that I tried to make a sale on but didn't. To me the traffic didnt work the first time around, so I am trying again. If there is a leak here or there, I just don't care. It's no worse than sending to a sponsor that has a pop up page with a million banners.

LEE: You may have this already, but did you create a banner for the review site that I can put on my warning pages when i submit to Linkslists. Like a recip banner. You know what I mean?

Good job Lee.

I don't have an affiliation program and I don't have a paysite so please be less paranoid and be more polite with people that tried to help you (I post lots of info about your blog bugs months ago helping you to find all your broken links) and don't want to be joked in a board by you...

True enough, thats part of the reason we're in beta, so issues like this can be worked out.

Yep, thats a prob with the design flaw i mentioned earlier on in this thread, right now, there's nowhere to put members area screengrabs in the layout, im getting this changed so that a members area screenshot and a couple of content sample links are also listed.

I do indeed, im waiting for the design of the review site to be 100% but yes, i have a banner and a button in the works so affiliates can link to Adams Reviews using them. They should be available later this afternoon or tomorrow morning.

Lee

Looks great. Congrats and good luck with it!
