The answer is "maybe" for Evil Genius.....Sykk is dancing the two-step....

wrong

I'm simply asking that you provide the same courtesy that my mailers, p2p promoters, yahoo groups promoters, etc. do

if you are using a sponsor's content or promoting a sponsor in a way that MIGHT cause problems, why is it so hard to drop an email and say "is this ok?"

I get emails all the time from affiliates asking if they can promote us in a certain way and most of the time the answer is "yes".

OK, so you want to promote EGC with a 30% skim, great. Hit me up and let me know the account so I can keep an eye on it and if my boss comes to me and says "hey, what's this affiliate doing?" I can answer.

All I ask is that the skim goes to a trade and not a competing sponsor. Just like I wouldn't link your recip button to another TGP.

You have to understand where the sponsor is coming from as well. We pay a lot of money for content and like to know what's happening with our content. Imagine if you sent traffic to us and we skimmed 30% and didn't pay you for it. It's simply a communications thing.

I'm very big on communicating with affiliates, so email me, ICQ me, send me smoke signals, let's keep a line of communication open and that way everyone makes money and no one has a misunderstanding that causes one or both sides to avoid making money.
