By the larger, more well-known primarily straight companies?
For example, how many of you folks knew that Xbiz was holding a get-together this week?
To me, thats another example of a company not informing the gay webmaster community about stuff that is happening that could affect our businesses, go to any of the straight boards and ask how many people are attending this Xbiz show and the threads will be full of replies yet, ask on any of the gay forum and the thread gets perhaps one or two responses from people who are attending, like Roberts thread a few days ago.
Also, what about sponsors that offer raised payouts during certain pay periods? I very rarely see any of the larger sponsor programs posting on any of the gay boards when they offer their affiliates extra incentives to promote their sites yet again, on the vast majority of straight webmaster forums, you really cant seem to go 24 hours without a promotion being posted about.
In the last 2-3 years has the gay side of the industry become more or less targeted by straight companies over all? I mean sure, a few companies have actively gone out of their way to attract a larger gay following such as TopBucks, XXXCash and now SicCash with their new gay affiliate program but, for the most part, do you get the feeling that a lot of these companies just want our traffic and money without having any second thoughts about what we would like to know about as a webmaster community?
What are your thoughts on this topic? Are we as a community more often than not overlooked by companies and, do you think that has good or bad connotations on those companies that do/dont overlook the gay industry as a viable business option?
