TERMS
& RULES
Please
make sure you read and abide by the following rules,
otherwise your affiliate account will be terminated.
WebWhoreBucks
is administered through CCBill. Payments are made
by CCBill on a weekly basis, provided you meet
the minimum for a check to be cut ($25.00). We
offer 50% revenue sharing on new subscriptions
and rebills to our affiliates, a 10% webmaster
referral, and may provide higher payout rates
to qualified affiliates at our own discretion.
Cookie life is set at the CCBill default of three
days.
If
revenue is not shared: you may not be credited
for sales made to surfers who have disabled cookies
or surfers who click on another affiliate's WebWhoreBucks
link after your own. Otherwise, sales will be
rewarded provided your account is not terminated
for ignoring the rules below. |
Note: Our
rules are a little different from many of the large
corporate sponsors due to the unique personality-driven
nature of our sites. We want to cultivate partnerships
with people who understand our business model, and
who respect our surfers, members, our brand and
our products.

|
| 1.
Your affiliate account with us will be terminated
if you buy and/or promote us on a domain or subdomain
including the word or words "Trixie",
"houseboy", "Tucker", "Delia",
"webwhore", a mispelling of those words
or any other reference that I determine intends
to divert traffic to your site(s) using names and
reputations that we have built for ourselves. You're
supposed to send us fresh traffic, not steal traffic
that would already be coming to us if not for your
misleading diversions. |
Exceptions:
Subdomains
are acceptable provided that there is real content
(ex. a review) there, not just a redirect or
a bunch of shitty spammy keywords. If
you don't understand the difference between
promotion and theft (or search engine optimization
vs. SE *spamming*), move along to some big corporate
sponsor that doesn't give a fuck. Also, if your
own site has been in business for a long time
using one or more of these words, an exception
will be made. Please contact me if you have
a promotion idea that uses one or more of these
words in a domain name seeking to promote our
sites and you want to insure your account will
not be terminated. For example, if someone wants
to buy the domain "TrixieIsABitch.com"
and devote it to talking about how bitchy I
am while at the same time promoting my site
. . . go for it! Sounds like fun!
|
| 2.
If you use first person in promo text, you must
be using YOUR OWN VOICE or use direct quotations
from our sites, contained within quotation marks.
This is important!!! We run personality sites --
our personalities ARE our brand. When affiliates
put stupid bullshit in our mouths, it dilutes our
personalities and brand, and makes the authenticity
of our sites and personalities suspect. |
What
this means is you cannot put words into our
mouths. Do not slap up an avs site, an ad, or
gallery saying, "hi! I'm Trixie and I like
to fuck" or "hi! I'm houseboy and
I suck cock AND eat pussy!" or anything
like that. If you want to quote something we
wrote in our journals or that's on our sites,
GREAT only present it as a quote, with quotation
marks. You are not the webwhore . . . you are
not the houseboy. You are you. If you pretend
to be us you compromise our personalities which
are the foundation of our business. Surfers
and members will not trust us if they don't
know who Trixie, Tucker and Delia really are.
There is only one person allowed to use my pics
and say "I'm Trixie" and that's ME.
If
you do use first person, it can be very effective
and genuine as in the form of a review or a
satisfied customer:
- ex.
"I first stumbled upon Trixie's site
when I was looking for pictures of a natural
girl with freckles. I couldn't believe this
woman had written a manifesto! I had to join
just to find out if she would be the next
unabomber or my newest addiction!"
- ex.
"I have never seen a site like TrixiesHouseboy.com.
A predominantly straight man posing and jacking
off for his girlfriend who then posts it all
on his site? Whoah!! What a refreshing break
from the usual gaygaygay view of cock!"
|
| 3.
If you sign up as an affiliate with us please do
not demand that we provide a link
back to you. We are "reciprocating" enough
by paying 50-60% on the signups you send us -- do
not expect us to send you traffic too. The point
of having our affiliate program is to GET traffic,
not to pay someone to take more away. You need to
decide if you want money or traffic from my program;
don't expect to get both. |
Exceptions:
There
*are* a lot of sites I'll trade traffic with *and*
work with as affiliates, for example other solo
girl sites that want to trade galleries within
our members area but also want to promote us with
a ref code elsewhere. It really depends on the
site, the person, their traffic, reputation, and
their methods of promotion. If your site provides
compelling reasons for people to join ours, then
we'll be more likely to provide reciprocal links.
If your site is just some giant link list with
a reputation for demanding reciprocal links and
then months later REMOVING your link to my site
with absolutely no notice, I probably won't want
to work with you. |
| 4.
Don't make promises we can't keep, or advertise
features that are likely to change. For example,
don't advertise that I'm in chat every Tuesday at
4 pm or something like that. Show schedules and
chat times change, so be generic when it comes to
dates, times, our ages, and how many pounds we weigh. |
5.
Content usage: our
photos, videos, and words may not be used to promote
any website(s) except our own and may not be passed
off as someone else's. If pics are resized
they must retain proper aspect ratio & high
quality look (no fuzzy, grainy pics with degraded
quality). All
promo pics must bear our url stamp at a readable
size unless they are thumbnails. People should
not promote our sites using bought content depicting
people other than us. You may not use our photos,
banners, text, graphics, etc. to promote any sites
but ours. Links from images and/or text depicting
or describing us or our sites MUST LEAD either
to one of our sites or to further promotional
efforts clearly advertising one of our sites.
A
word on QUANTITY of content used:
affiliates and non-affiliates
are not permitted to post more than a representative
SAMPLING of photos and/or videos.
This means you may not make a competing paysite,
freesite, blog, etc. out of our content (even
if you provide links back) or dump all (or a lot)
of our free content all in one place (like a yahoo
group) at one time, unbroken up by other content.
Promo content is provided to affiliates solely
for the purposes of promoting our sites, not eliminating
the need to join them. There is no predetermined
number of photos or minutes of movies where we
draw the line, so use common sense and ask for
permission from us if you're in doubt.
GUIDELINES:
-Free
Site: preferably 20 pics, but no more
than 26
-Free Gallery: preferably 15
pics, but no more than 20
-Free Movie Gallery: preferably
90 seconds or less total without giving away
long segments of the most climactic portions.
-Members Area: one full gallery
or movie allowed every 4 months or less frequently,
or smaller sample galleries and movies more
frequently.
-Any site providing one area devoted
specifically to linking to free content from
our sites (without breaking up links to our
promo materials with significant numbers of
links to other free content for other people's
sites): No more than seven galleries
and/or free sites OR no more than 150 photos,
whichever is more. If you choose to alternate
those galleries or free sites, they may not
be alternated more frequently than once a month.
If
you own a paysite or have a protected members-only
area somewhere, you are welcome to post some of
our promo content in your members area or outside
of it, and to advertise in your tour or update
list or blog or whatever that you feature us on
your site. I know some sponsors don't allow that,
but I think it's fine. There's a fine line between
using our content to promote sites that aren't
ours, and simply letting people know the type
of content you feature.
For
example, if you have a paysite with a preview
of member updates in the free area it's okay
to indicate there that you posted one of our
galleries and advertise joining your site to
see it. It's NOT okay to make a TGP gallery
using our content and have all of the links
point to your site; see the difference? Feel
free to email us if you're not sure whether
or not your proposed use is breaking the rule
or not.
|
| 6.
No uninvited, misleading, excessive, or tacky spam.
This means you CAN promote us via email campaigns
provided the following conditions are met: |
a.
your
email list is opt-in (surfers actually *asked*
to be put on your list).
b . your emails provide a way for the customer
to effectively opt-out and never get email from
you promoting WebWhoreBucks sites again
c. the sender on your email
must be a real entity (don't make it look it came
from the recipient, from us, or from anyone but
yourself)
d. NO MISLEADING SUBJECT LINES! (ex. "you
never called me back", "are you mad
at me?", etc.)
e. no typos, bad spelling (ex. "webho fo
u with big teets fux mastadon"), attempts
to fool spam filters, or tacky looking crap (ex.
orange lettering on blue background, cheesy gifs,
etc.)
f. no nude or explicit photos in emails.
g. promotion of WebWhoreBucks sites via email
must be limited in frequency to once a month or
less. |
| 7.
No blind links or pop-up ambushes. Surfers must
purposefully click on links with full knowledge
of where they are going. You may not use our photos,
banners, text, graphics, etc. to promote any sites
but ours. Links from images and/or text depicting
or describing us or our sites MUST LEAD either to
one of our sites or to further promotional efforts
clearly advertising one of our sites. |
| 8.
I hope it goes without saying, but do not promote
us from child p0rn sites or sites that promote child
p0rn. |
| 9.
These rules may be amended at any time as we see
fit. |
| |
Afterword:
I've actually only suspended one affiliate's
account in the past four years. Even though there
are things some affiliates do that I don't like,
for the most part I'm happy for any traffic and
will continue to try to reward people for sending
it to us even if their methods aren't ones I'd
use myself.
While
I'm critical of the way some people market and
present porn, I really don't care if affiliates
call me all sorts of ridiculous degrading innacurate
names in their efforts to make sales. I might
think those who do that lack creativity, are stupid,
and probably won't make any sales, but I won't
suspend their accounts for it (unless they totally
lie about us).
Our
sites aren't perfect, we aren't perfect, and we
don't expect our affiliates to be perfect either.
The rules are really written with a few bad apples
in mind, and as more of a guideline for others
who aren't used to promoting indie personality
sites. It's not our intention to make promoting
us "hard", we just want your promotions
to be successful and our partnership with you
to be fair. Good luck! -Trixie |
