All American Guys

[Lee]

I agree and i never understood how a site that is so highly sexualized has an issue with real, honest to goodness porn.

I mean really, get over yourselves the reason people are joining the site like has already been mentioned, is so that they can jack off to the hot guys LOL

Im wondering if it has something to do with the type of processing account they have though, i know mainstream processing accounts have much lower fees associated with them as they are not deemed 'high risk'.

Regards,

if anyone decides to put them on a non-porn blog, keep in mind that they'll terminate your account if you have a single sponsor on the site that has any adult whatsoever in their member area. i was promoting a site that didn't even advertise nudity, but aag termed me without even giving me a chance to pull that other sponsor's link down.

Wow -- now that's brutal.

AAG can do what they want. They can cut you loose because your name rubbed them wrong

However, they shouldn't be terminating affiliates left and right without first clearly stating what their traffic policies are. Even the shady Acai offers in mainstream clearly state what traffic they'll take

AAG's way of doing things is is shady to put it mildly, unless they're paying the commission earned by the affiliate and then closing the account?!

I'm looking at their webmaster page right now and there is nothing on it mentioning they don't accept porn traffic!

There's a nearly naked guy and a CCBill affiliate form below him. I don't know about other people but when I see CCBill affiliate form on a site with almost naked dudes I tend think porn traffic would be OK.

My account got canceled yesterday, signed up a week ago, just enough time for me to get all links and banners up....

If they don't want porn, that's fine by me, but put it on the damn signup page! Saves me and them time and efforts.

I found what explains the odd experiences with AAG, at least in my mind, by googling "all american guys" to find their affiliate's sites.

I only checked out a couple of sites. One blog supposedly was about all things to do with men, supposedly culture and fashion but with lots of male underwear banners. The other was about "hunks" and refined men with a header advertising the site as "Mom friendly." What? I didn't look further because it was just too weird.

Compare those sites to beautifulmag.eu, a more honest blog about beautiful men and fashion. No tension or concern about whether something is porn, sex or not. It's a comfortable celebration of the male body and all to do with it - sexuality, fashion, so forth. (The "email me" address looks French?)

The few AAG affiliates that I checked out show an underlying tense, driven focus on sex that is more obsessive, closeted, and sexually repressed. It's like the rabid tease you get from closeted game-playing men. Each word in AAG is interesting and noteworthy: super American "guys". That sure is hot to me, but not the the flip side. Not that Europe necessarily has it all together with sex, but AAG affiliates epitomize sexual attitudes in America, particularly about recognizing male beauty and sexuality in a Puritan based culture.

Ah, somebody else who likes to tear into something to see what makes it tick! Interesting results on the sites allowed to hang up a banner or two.
