As adult webmasters we are generally perceived to be without any morality and certainly the sleaze of society....I am wondering whether we are also an industry without business ethics?
Should webmasters promote sites that we know have tours based upon content lies?
Should webmasters promote sites that we know steal others content?
Personally, if we find any sites or programs that are stealing other's products, graphics, videos, we automatically delist them from our sites, and remove any and all references to any links with them, including reciprocal banners etc.
and if we find any sites that we know that lie about their content, we certainly NEVER would dream of continuing to promote them in our traffic sites.
Keeping any linkage or promotion of sites like these active in our program sends the wrong message. "I know what you are doing is wrong, but I sure want the money" or "I know what you are doing is wrong, but I'm not really concerned enough to take down my links to your site."
I think that it would be something we as a community should make more of an effort on, depriving these types of sites our hard gained traffic, which by even maintaining a small link to them on our sites, says we condone their activities.
There are a zillion programs out there, and a gazillion sites out there to link to, we don't need to be giving traffic to liars and thieves in our business.
Just my rant for the day. nuff said.
