LOL at Kink - and perhaps a sad commentary on freesite traffic?

[Bill]

So, a little while back I wrote to Kink asking if I could get a login to take movies and clip them to build freesites. Cuz we all know that building with teh exact same small crappy movie clips that other affiliates can download is such a great sales strategy right? NOT

So yesterday I go to download a few more movies - I've added more sites to kink to my building rotation - and teh id/pass they gave me dont work.

So I write and ask and this is the letter I get back.

Hi Bill,

I will give you one more month, but at this rate we will not extend your access
next month as your sales have not increased nor have you sent much more traffic
than last period.

What's the subtext? You are not a whale so fuck you.

I had to laugh - people say, 'write to your sponsor, they want to help, you only get help if you write' - when my experience has tended to be that with a few notable exceptions that will have my loyalty forever, sponsors mostly say fuck you.

I gave up on Kink sometime ago.

Damn tough for affiliates to compete when Kink is uploading 5 to 8 minute clips to Pornhub Network. Surfers have already seen longer clips of the scenes than you can use in your galleries.

I guess the morons figure the only reason you're in the biz is to look at their content for free. |crazy|
idiots.

Just curious, why? I did really well with them my first couple of years, then I kinda slacked off with promotions, but I've lately been pushing them more here lately and seeing better results.

Sadly they likely make more sales from those uploads then any affiliate can send them. |huh

I did well with them some years ago but then I started selling ratios like 1:8339.

There is WAY more money is supplying tube clips than in making hosted galleries. Similar to when TGPs took off and making hosted free sites for link lists was almost a waste of time.... almost, lol.

And before someone jumps on my back this is from a program/paysite owner that sees the stats. Believe me when I say hosted TGP galleries made massively more sales than hosted free sites ever did.

Same can be said now for tube clips. And programs spend their money hiring someone to upload clips to tubes rather than hiring someone to make hosted galleries. Not all of course but some. The smart programs do both.

I stumbled onto pornotube or one of those last night and saw them, definitely enough for a surfer to get off to, no payment required.

Kink is terrible these days, wish I could find a sponsor with same high quality bondage content...
