TGPs skimming off thumb from sponsor gallery

The number of rules an affiliate has to follow is inversely proportional to the total dollars they make a sponsor...

Why?

If I were to make a rule that tgp's had to have pics on html pages, would THAT make the affiliate less money? What about no pink in galleries? ... what about not being able to publish certain galleries in certain places? What about not letting affiliates do things which will cause chargebacks?

Plenty of rules a sponsor could come up with that would HELP the affiliate make more dollars, not less ... to assume that sponsors put rules in place so that affiliates will make LESS money is just rediculous. Rules are to PROTECT the sponsor from affiliates doing things which later causes the sponsor problems. Your statement says that if a sponsor is trying to protect themselves, they are screwing the affiliate (and themselves) out of making money?!



But we aren't talking about sponsors making rules, we are talking about TGP's making rules and refusing to adjust them in any way - even to bring content in which would keep surfers.

But as HP has informed us:

"All due respect to everyone involved, but I'm rapidly becoming convinced that unless you've tried running both a TGP and a paysite you cant understand all issues of both sides. "

LMAO
Nobody knows as much about this subject as HP, therefore we are all wrong and he is right

Thanks for opening our eyes HP - its a pity that with all your years of experience at both tgp's AND paysites, you still couldn't share a single piece of productive information with us in this thread.
